Cadet Proficiency Badge Scheme - Anti-Drug Ambassador (Bronze) (ADA/101)

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

Updated 28 April 2025

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.

New Methodology for Learning and Assessment from 2025

SANA launches their new Learning Management System (LMS), which will enhance the learning experience and streamline the administration of the Anti-Drug Ambassador Badge Scheme.
With the new LMS, cadets will be able to access the badge courses anytime and anywhere, allowing them to study at their own pace and on their own schedule, and work on the online assessment via the LMS whenever they are ready to take.
Under this new approach, HQ CPBS team will no longer conduct several rounds of Anti-Drug Ambassador Badge online assessments each year. SANA will track the assessment completion on a regular basis and inform the HQ CPBS team for the award of the badges in the St John Portal.

Self-Directed Learning and Online Assessment:

Students will engage with and comprehend the content of three key topics: Substance Abuse Awareness, Addiction, and Mental Health.
After completing the material, students will answer 20 questions based on the content. To earn the badge and e-certificate, students must achieve a passing rate of 80%.
Students are to create an account at SANAAcademy.odoo.com to start the Bronze Badge.
Refer to attached guide on how to use the new LMS (click here to obtain a copy online).

Award of Badge:

The SANA team will evaluate all submissions via the LMS and provide the results to HQ CPBS team on a regular basis for the award of these badges.
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.
