Cadet Incentive Badge Scheme Red Cross Youth

Training Curriculum – Wearing of Incentive Badges Page 5 Copyright 2013 @ Red Cross Youth Version 2.0 June 2013

WEARING OF INCENTIVE BADGES A. All Red Cross cadets are to display all their hard-earned incentive badges on the Red Cross Uniform whenever it is worn, especially on

parades and special ceremonies. However, cadets involved in some first aid duty assignments may be requested by the Officers-in-charge not to wear the incentive badges.

B. All Proficiency and Enrichment Badges issued by the Red Cross Youth will be worn above the left pocket of the Red Cross uniform (for the boys) and on the left side of the uniform with the first row of badges in line with the name tag (for the girls).

C. (1) The badges will be arranged in rows of four. (2) A row of 4 badges can be mounted on a long rectangular white tag for ease of pinning on uniform. (3) Badges placed horizontally on the same row will be arranged in a chronological order with a substitution allowance e.g. Cadets could replace their Bronze with Silver badges or Silver with Gold badges for the same type of badge. This would start from the centre of the uniform to the left side. (4) The badges should not be overlapping each other. They will be placed side by side, almost touching each other.

D. Only the higher level of a particular badge should be worn. No two different levels of the same type of badge should be worn on the same

uniform. E.g. A cadet, who has already attained a Red Cross Knowledge (Bronze) badge and was awarded the Red Cross Knowledge (Silver) badge, would only have to wear the Silver badge on his / her uniform.

*Badge designs are subjected to changes.

Guidelines on Designing a Heritage Trail

Part I: What is a Heritage Trail? A Heritage Trail is a designated journey that brings the trail explorer to learn more about a country’s history, culture, architecture, flora and fauna through visiting historical sites and buildings. The journey can be covered by walking, cycling, bus rides, taking MRT rides or even a combination of any modes of transportation.

Part II: What are the benefits of a Heritage Trail? A heritage trail:

Brings history alive

Provides information on a country in an informal and fun way

Allows recreational activities for the individual and family

Allows one to appreciate the natural surroundings and architecture and culture of a country

Promotes and encourages skills such as: - Observation and recording - Comparison and deduction - Reading, writing and comprehension - Measuring and estimating - Map and plan reading - Number and scientific skills - Social skills, sharing and communicating

Decide on the Duration of the Trail: How long do you want the trail to take?

A good time frame will be between 3 to 3.5 hours (for half a day trail) and about 5 hours for a full day trail.

Consider the temperature and humidity in Singapore when you make your decision.

What is the Mode of Transportation?

Is it going to be a wholly walking trail? Or is it going to be a combination, say of public transport and walking?

If it is a combination, you need to check on bus schedules, MRT stops and routes. Not forgetting their EZ-LINK card with sufficient amount of money. This information has to be included in the route map.

Plan a tentative route for the trail

Put together the route using street maps first so that you have an idea if the route you are going to take.

Try to note where traffic points are located or MRT stations can be found. This will help you when you go on your recce.

Is the trail going to be guided? If so, you need to look for an appropriate place for the guide to stop and explain. This early preparation will help you identify that space when you go on your recce.

Include starting and ending points.

Now that you have done your preparations, you are ready for your first recce.

Cadet Incentive Badge Scheme – National Education Red Cross Youth

Cadet IBS – National Education Page 44 Copyright 2013 @ Red Cross Youth Version 2.0 June 2013

Part III: Preparation for Second Recce

Now that you have done your first recce, it is time for arrange your thoughts and draw a tentative route map. You will have to revise your initial map and re-route it based on your first recce.

Remember to include traffic points, bus stops, MRT stations, food and beverage outlets etc. Remember that the trail walker will need all these details especially if the area is new to him or her.

Once you are comfortable with your second map, you are now ready to do your second recce.

Bring along the revised map with you.

Part IV: Your Second Recce

Follow the same procedures as Recce One. This time round use your revised map and fine-tune it so that a person walking will be able to understand the map and follow it.

Double-check on historical or factual accuracy, the positions of traffic lights, pedestrian crossings, bus stops, MRT stations etc.

Once again, time your walking distance. How do you feel? Is it too long? Too tiring? No covered walkway? Are the bus schedules too infrequent? Do you have to travel or walk long distances just to see something which may not be that exciting? If so, dispense with it or re-route the trail.

Once you are happy with these changes, revise the map, information brochure accordingly.
