A Company on Camp

A Company enjoyed a record camp attendance of over 120 Cadets at the Chilwell Weekend Training Centre. A further record was broken as they achieved 487 Army Cadet Syllabus (ACS) subject passes over a two day period!

The weekend started with a change of Cadet Sergeant Major (CSM), with CSM Hallworth handing over the pace stick to CSM Illsley.

Cadets experienced live firing on indoor and outdoor ranges, with the Cadet Small Bore Target Rifle (CSBTR) and the Cadet L98 A2 General Purpose (GP) Rifle.

There was training and testing in Skill at Arms, First Aid, Navigation, Drill & Turnout, and Communication and Information Systems. Cadets also found fun taking part in a series of outdoor activities.

The final parade on Sunday afternoon saw many awards, badges and promotions in rank being given including:

• Best in Shot CSBTR
• Best in Shot GP
• Duke of Edinburgh Awards completions
• ACS 2 & 3 Star completion badges
• Lance Corporal rank slides
