The Emergency Services Cadets Gin Gin Unit commenced operations on October 12, 2020 with 26 Cadets and 12 Adult Leaders.
We are proud to have at least one Adult Leader from each Emergency Service in the Gin Gin.
The Gin Gin SES is our Host Facility with Tirroan Rural Fire Brigade as Lead Emergency Service.
We meet each Monday afternoon at the SES facility from 4pm to 6pm, with the Cadets getting a taste of all facets of Emergency Services and gaining skills and knowledge along the way.
In December 2020, the Cadets catered a local public event run by the Gin Gin Neighbourhood Centre and assisted with the running of the evening. They received excellent feedback from the public and Neighbourhood Staff.
Our aim is to build and promote community resilience through youth development by exploring potential career pathways, ongoing volunteering and leadership development.
