ANTI-DRUG AMBASSADOR (BRONZE) (ADA/101) 

Updated 30 December 2024


Introduction & Background:

The SANA Badge Scheme, which started in 1977, impacts more than 5,000 youths a year. This programme was a half-day motivational workshop for secondary school students from the uniformed groups. The workshop gives them information on illegal drugs, the harmful consequences of drug abuse and how to lead healthy lifestyles without relying on substances. The course ends with an online assessment. Upon completion, they each receive a customized SANA Badge.

In 2016, SANA revamped the course, in order to engage our youths with the community. The badge name in general is now known as SANA Ambassador.  Hence, St John Brigade renamed its badge as "Anti-Drug Ambassador". It's with hope that through the renaming of this badge, it gives an opportunity for our cadets to be advocates in spreading the importance of staying drug-free.

Badge Guidelines:

Attend and successfully complete the Anti-Drug Abuse Course (Bronze) online assessment by the Singapore Anti-Narcotics Association.

Schools / districts do not need to apply for the badge. Cadets who have completed the course and passed the assessment will be awarded with the badge by the CPB Committee through the St John Portal.


From 2025, the badge assessment will move into the new SANA LMS platform, where students will have their own SANA account to log in and work on the online assessment.

This will be a self-service platform for students to do the online learning and assessment attempts at their own pace. HQ CPBS team will no longer need to organise the assessments on behalf of SANA. Assessment results will be generated by SANA and provided to the brigade on regular basis for our badge awards.

More details will be released in Q1 2025.
