Civil Defence (CD) Lionhearter Club

The Civil Defence Lionhearters are SCDF's youth volunteers and Emergency Preparedness (EP) ambassadors.

As a Civil Defence Lionhearter, you will be trained in emergency skills so that you can be a Community First Responder. You will provide immediate assistance for both on-campus and off-campus emergencies, helping to save lives and minimise property damage before the SCDF arrives.

As an EP ambassador, you'll impart your knowledge and lifesaving skills to members of the public during various community outreach events.

Volunteers may also have the opportunity to participate in overseas humanitarian projects, such as with Mercy Relief and Singapore Red Cross.

What You'll Do

As a Home Team volunteer, you will be trained and supervised, and will work in partnership with SCDF officers.

With your training as a CD Lionhearter, you will:

Provide assistance for on-campus incidents. You will provide first-level response by rendering first aid and assisting in the evacuation of affected victims.
Support community events. You'll be coaching alongside SCDF officers to train the community in emergency preparedness and lifesaving skills.

Training

You will be trained in the Responders Plus Programme (RPP). This training programme equips you with the essential lifesaving skills and knowledge to be a Community First Responder and to take charge of emergency situations before the SCDF arrives.

The RPP has 2 components.

RPP (Online)

Core lifesaving skills are covered by a self-directed e-learning course.

RPP (In-Person)

Through hands-on practical sessions, you will further hone your lifesaving skills.

You are strongly encouraged to attend both components of the RPP for a richer learning experience.

Benefits and Recognition

You are a key partner of the Home Team in our efforts to engage the community to embrace security awareness and to play a part in ensuring your own security and that of your loved ones. You complement the work of the Home Team through your passion, expertise and time.

Our philosophy of involvement includes giving you the necessary orientation and ample opportunities for personal development. We will ensure that all our CD Lionhearters receive ample training before being tasked to carry out their roles.
