YOU HAVE A HISTORY….
Have a quick think about your life:
– Things you have done
– People you have met
– Things you have achieved
…. AND SO DOES ST JOHN
St John has over 900 years of history
So just imagine all the interesting and exciting things that make up its history
All this makes St John a unique organisation and one that you should be proud to be part of
The Blessed Gerard founded the Order of St John, a religious group who cared for the sick and injured Pilgrims in Jerusalem.
The Hospitaller Brothers did most of the nursing and caring for the injured while the Hospitaller Sisters spent most of the time in prayer.
The Hospital grew to over 2000 beds and there was still shortages so the rather than turning Pilgrims away the Hospitallers gave up their beds and slept on the floor.
The Hospitallers take on a military as Knights during the Crusades (war between the Christians and Muslims for the Holy land)
The Hospitallers come to Britain and the priory of Clerkenwell, London is founded
All Christian forces, including the Hospitallers are driven from Palestine, Jerusalum.
The Orders new headquarters are located in Cyprus
During the Middle ages, the Order of St John was very rich and powerful. The Prior at the time, Robert Hales, was also part of the government as a Treasurer. The Prior introduced poll tax which was hated by the peasants leading to the revolt.
The previous St John’s Gate was burnt down in 1381 during the Peasants Revolt. Also Robert Hales head was cut off
The newly rebuilt St John’s Gate in London is reopened after being burnt down in the Peasants Revolt in 1381.
The Hospitallers move their headquarters to Malta.
Brothers of the Order nursing in the Hospital in Malta, while doctors examine patients. From the Verdala Statutes, 1588.
King Henry VIII dissolved the Order of St John in England, taking all their land and property.
This was caused by a struggle between the King and the Pope about who controlled religion
The Siege of Malta started
Roughly 500 Knights and the Maltese defended the island against the large Turkish army of over 25000
Napoleon drove the Hospitallers from their headquarters in Malta
After this the headquarters returned to Jerusalem, where they originally started
St John Ambulance Association was founded
At the time many people worked in mines which were very dangerous places due to underground explosions, floods and collapsed tunnels. This lead to thousands of deaths and injuries every year.
St John Ambulance was the first organisation to train workers in first aid so they could help each other quickly after accidents

St John Ambulance Brigade was formed
This is when St John started to have the main role that we are familiar with today, by providing first aid cover
1.130th Field Ambulance 28th (Welsh) division, Welsh Army Corps, who served in World War One
St John Cadets were formed
Since then cadets have done everything from winning the George Cross for bravery and cooking the worlds biggest sausage.
Rochdale cadets in 1923, just after cadets were formed
Badgers were formed.
Badgers are aged between 5-10.
They have a programme that covers absolutely everything, so they learn a wide range of skills that are not just first aid.
Badgers work towards the SUPER BADGER AWARD

On Duty
St John often attends public events to provide first aid cover, in case anybody hurts themselves or
becomes ill
What events do you think we cover?
On duty
• You may have the chance to put your first aid skills to use by treating patients (supervised by an adult)
• However be prepared that you may not do much first aid, it may a perfect time to do some homework or read a book as its not nice wishing people to hurt themselves!
• You do not have to do anything that you do not feel comfortable with – It is not always a cadets job to make tea all
day!• If you are worried or upset about
anything on duty speak to the duty officer or any adult
On duty
Remember you are representing St John when you are wearing your uniform so try to behave and be polite to people
BUT
Most of all enjoy yourself!

Drill
• We still use drill from out military past
• Encourages team work and discipline

Saluting
In past times, the right hand was raised to show there were no weapons in the persons hand and that they were friendly
In modern times, it is commonly used as a mark of respect especially to officers

JewelleryYou may love your jewellery, but what would you
feel like if you lost it on duty?What about if your necklace were accidentally
grabbed by a casualty?Or your ear rings got caught on things?
What if your rings tore your protective gloves getting you covered in blood?
The best way is to leave your jewellery at home
However, you are allowed to wear:A watch
A wedding ring (hopefully none of you have these!!)Jewellery for medical reasons (such as MediAlert
bracelets)Remember this is for
your own safety
Additional uniformAlthough our uniform is quite distinctive, we
some times need to be more recognisable to the general public on
duty to identify us as first aiders.
This could be when we are on duty outdoors or in crowded places.
We normally do this by wear high visibility clothing.
You should have a reflective badge on the front and back saying
Adults some times wear different badges to show their skills
