Our cadets have spent their second day out in the field, patrolling their areas and protecting their platoon harbours from the other platoons. Spirits are high, teamwork is strong, and they’ve thrown themselves into every challenge.

As the end of the biv draws near, they’re packing up, marching out, and getting ready to head home, no doubt excited to tell their parents all about their weekend of fieldcraft, mateship, and adventure.

Another great effort from all our Cadets

Our cadets had an awesome weekend out in the field, getting their taste of bushcraft and field skills.

From learning how to apply cam cream, to getting their hoochies up before last light, every cadet threw themselves into the experience with enthusiasm. Once shelters were sorted, they settled into lessons on fieldcraft, teamwork, and staying switched-on in the environment.

It was great to see them working together, helping each other out, and building confidence with every task. A huge well done to all our cadets for embracing the challenge and making the most of the night.
