To be enrolled as a Junior Soldier you need to want to be a follower of Jesus, agree with the Junior Soldier promise and work at keeping that promise. However, it is targeted at children around 7-13 years old. Just because this is where the material is aimed at does not mean that children outside of those ages cannot or should not be encouraged to be involved.
When your Junior Soldier has finished their passport of any level, the passport needs to be signed by the Junior Soldier leader and then forwarded to the children’s secretary within your division. Once DHQ receives the finished passport, they are processed, signed off and a letter, certificate and award badge are sent back to the corps.
Those who want to help and support the Junior Soldier programme need to be fully checked and trained within the appropriate safety management framework. Please see keepingchildrensafe.sarmy.net.nz for more information. Any person who wishes to be a Junior Soldiers leader needs to be a Soldier; however if they are not a Soldier they are still able to be a helper.
