Cadet150 launches in Scotland
Cadets from all the four forces joined together in welcoming rugby superstar Gavin Hastings to the opening celebrations of Cadet150 in Scotland. Climbing, flying, sailing, music, first aid, and sport were all showcased at the Glasgow Science Centre in March.
Gavin Hastings, who is the Honorary Colonel of Lothian and Borders Battalion, joined over 175 VIPs, including senior members of the Armed Forces, to see the full range of activities available to cadets, and to discover how the Cadet Forces are helping young people across the country to develop and earn qualifications.
Brigadier David Allfrey, who commands the Army in Scotland, paid tribute to the movement’s adult volunteers. “Around 400 officers and 700 adult instructors help our young people make the most of their potential and widen their interests, skill and characters towards becoming more successful citizens.”
