Living Memories: 1925 to 2025

As we celebrate this Centenary, we reflect on its beginnings and the many people who shaped its story. While we cannot capture every experience, the memories shared here offer a glimpse of the program’s lasting impact on young people and their communities.

Our proud history

Celebrating young people in St John

The St John Living Memories Project captures the voices and experiences of cadets and youth members from the past 100 years, preserving their stories for future generations. Through interviews spanning decades, this project reflects on the evolution of youth involvement in St John, highlighting moments of service, friendship, and personal growth.

Together, these stories form a collective legacy, celebrating the impact of young people in shaping St John’s history and its ongoing contribution to communities across Australia. Please enjoy listening to these stories and reflecting on the incredible hundred years of this program.
