Emergency Services Cadets

The Emergency Service Cadets (ESC) welcomed three new units Beaudesert, Emerald and Woodford to bring the statewide number of units to 24.

The eighth annual Brisbane Cadets Games were held at PCYC Sandgate. Teams competed in six Squad Challenge events and three Mixed Teams Challenge events that tested their leadership, teamwork and emergency response skills.

The Emergency Services Cadets, Australian Army Cadets, Australian Navy Cadets, Australian Air Force Cadets, Rural Fire Service Cadets and Surf Life Saving Queensland all took part.

A team from the Australian Air Force Cadets took out first prize while the Wolffdene Emergency Services Cadets received the Medal of Allegiance award.

Townsville hosted the northern Cadet Games in July with 12 teams participating in an action packed day of challenges and camaraderie. Away from the fun and games 11 Cadets graduated with a Certificate II in Public Safety (SES), providing the service with more essential, qualified volunteers.
