Introduction
Introduction
The Cadet Proficiency Badge Scheme was introduced to encourage our cadet members to further enhance their interest in subjects outside their normal curriculum and to widen their interests by carrying out these activities in their leisure time.
A wider range of activities is open for the members to choose from, depending on the individual's aptitude and inclination. The pursuit of badges encourages members to develop their personal skills and knowledge besides complementing the first aid, home nursing and footdrill that training members undergo during weekly parades/meetings. Hence, enhancing an all rounded education for these future leaders of our organisation.
