involved! #AC23 is going to have to be pretty special to top #AC22.
Whilst star passes (the way we measure Cadet progress against the national syllabus) are not the focus of annual camp, I am pleased to share that there were a significant number of passes at all levels as Cadets were able to demonstrate proficiency in skills and activities that they had perhaps not been able to engage in at detachment level. This is a great testament to the adults who really worked hard to make this happen as part of the activities they ran.
Annual Camp 2022 – Swynnerton
What a camp! If you measure success by Cadet smiles then this has been my best camp ever! When I plan the programme of events My main focus is Cadet safety and enjoyment. I am ably assisted in this by Captain Sarah Newton and our Training Safety Adviser CSM Darren Fassett. Owing to the circumstances of Covid over the last years we had a significant number of Cadets at 1* level. We resolved this by placing all cadets in Cadres which allowed them to gain technical passes allowing them to progress, balanced against an opportunity to have fun, get hands on with equipment, engage in field craft and most importantly build friendships and learn about teamwork and leadership.
Well done everyone!

Our Cadets cycled through a wide range of activities designed to present them with challenge whilst also giving them support and enjoyment. Activities included Bushcraft, Archery, Paintball Close Quarter Battle range, field craft, patrolling, Section attacks, harbor Drills, sleeping out, Ninja Warrior and Alton Towers fun days and so much more. There were also hotly contested competitions including the inter-company Drill competition, which this year was a particularly special event given how many of the cadets participating were 1* Cadets. Well done to all
