Adventure Training (AT) is a major part of the Army Cadet experience, and Devon ACF is one of the leading counties within the ACF for AT.
As a cadet with Devon ACF, you will be able to take part in a range of activities including Kayaking, Canoeing, Paddleboarding, Sailing, Mountain Biking, Rock Climbing, Abseiling, Hillwalking, Mountaineering, and Skiing.
Cadets also have the opportunity to attend the Cadet Centre for Adventurous Training (CCAT) based at Capel Curig, North Wales, in order to achieve nationally recognised AT qualifications.
Ten Tors Challenge
The Ten Tors Challenge is an annual challenge to the teenagers of the South West of England from the Army's Headquarters South West, and the event takes place around Easter each year on Dartmoor.
Teams of young people work together to complete the challenge and walk distances of 35, 45, and 55 miles, over the course of around 1.5 days.
Cadets from Devon ACF take part in this life-changing experience every year, learning not only navigation skills but commitment and determination.
Duke of Edinburgh's Award
The Duke of Edinburgh's Award (DofE) is an externally recognised award available to all Army Cadets, and is often achieved with very little extra work over and above what cadets will already be doing as part of their APC Syllabus.
Completing the DofE award, and in particular the expedition, is a fun, memorable, and often life-changing experience for young people, and can be a huge boost to any young person's CV.
