They follow a programme in 'Absolutely Everything' undertaking subjects such as Wild Badger, Healthy Badger, Global Badger and of course First Aid Badger. Badgers also like fun and games! When 12 badger subjects are completed they are awarded the Super Badger Award which can be carried forward into Cadets.
* Cadets are aged 10 to 18 and have their own award programme in order to obtain the Grand Prior Award. Cadet subjects include First Aid and Caring along with other subjects such as Lifestyle and Creative skills. The Grand Prior Award is highly thought of by potential employers.
* There are also opportunities to take part in County wide events and meet other Cadets and Badgers from other areas. Cadets can also go out to local events to improve their practical first aid skills.
Spaces are available for both Badgers and Cadets for the current term starting on September 15.
