SUBMISSION OF SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS

  1. From 2021, all schools must use the following standard template to provide details on the VIA / community services hours, completed by each cadet.

VIA / Community Service Records Template (Recommended to use for submission together with individual school VIA Certificate of each student)

  1. This is to allow CPB committee to go through the badge application and the VIA activities done by the students easily, and hence reduce the lead time required to process the badge applications.

Schools should ensure that the completed VIA / community service hours are also recorded timely onto the schools cockpit / system, and added to the students' individual VIA records / certificate.
