Juniors Interest Badges – St John Youth

Interest Badges

ANZAC Heritage

You might meet a war veteran and learn about Australians and New Zealanders who fought in past wars.

Attending an ANZAC ceremony will take on a whole new meaning for you. We can learn from their bravery and we will never forget them.

Caring for Animals

You need to choose your pet very carefully and to know how to shelter, feed, exercise and groom it.

You’ll even know how to help your pet when it is sick or in need of extra care.

Casualty Simulation

You’ll learn how makeup is used to create wounds and injuries that look real—your friends won’t know the difference!

You might even be able to use this new skill at the next Junior First Aid competition to make the patients look more realistic.

Eye Health

It is important to protect our own eyesight and promote eye health and preventative care. In many cases blindness is avoidable, and by restoring eyesight, people are able to go about their everyday activities and become more independent.

You will learn about the eye, how to look after it and the amazing things it can do – and much more!

Food

Time to explore the kitchen and have fun preparing food in a clean, healthy and yummy way.
You’ll explore the different food groups, good eating, wise shopping and food safety. Try out your cooking skills as well!

Health Care

Let’s make the most of life—with fit and healthy bodies. You’ll explore your body systems, learn about food and fitness, healthy and harmful drugs, and hygiene.

Your body will thank you forever as you pursue a happy and healthy life!

Knowledge of the Order

The work of St John is inspired by the service of the ancient Knights who nursed the sick and injured around 1000 years ago.

You’ll learn about the knights and what they did in places like Jerusalem, Rhodes and Malta. The design of the St John Cross is explained and the story of the growth of St John in Australia is told.
