On-the-job Patrol Assessments
Remember that all Bronze Medallion candidates must complete an “on the job” assessment by participating in a patrol, including the briefings. Please refer to the Bronze Medallion Assessment Portfolio for details of how you will be assessed.
Please attend one of the remaining patrols in January. Patrols run from 11am until 4pm. Set up and patrol briefings happen prior to the commencement of the patrol.
Please take responsibility for attending one of these sessions, you can’t be signed off on your Bronze Medallion unless you have completed a patrol assessment.
SRC candidates are encouraged to participate to gain a better understanding of what happens on patrol.
