Watch Cambs Cadets get to grips with a bomb disposal robot!
Some of our cadets were recently given a fascinating experience, the chance to operate a bomb disposal robot on a test course, and learn more about how new technology is protecting members of our armed forces.
Learning to Shoot with Cambridgeshire Army Cadets!
Learning to shoot safely is a key part of our syllabus, and a training highlight for many of our cadets.
