Juno Company ACS Weekend
(October 2026)

Over the weekend, each cadre participated in the following subjects:
One Star Navigation
Two Star Navigation
Three Star Navigation (including night navigation), conducted by the county AT officer and his team
Three Star Shooting with the Cadet Small Bore Target R***e (CSBTR)
Four Star Shooting with the Cadet Small Bore Target R***e (CSBTR)

Additionally, senior drill sessions were included to refresh skills in preparation for the Remembrance Day parades across the county.
We also had a BTEC cadre in progress.

At the conclusion of the weekend, we witnessed a number of cadets being promoted: from Cadet to Lance Corporal, and from Senior Cadet upto Cadet Staff Sergeant.

Cadets were also recognised with awards for the iDEA Awards, Ten Tors, and Corby Thomas was promoted from Sergeant to Staff Sergeant as a Cadet Force Adult Volunteer.

Moreover, we introduced an exciting exchange opportunity for 2027 in Australia.

As always, our cadets and CFAVs demonstrated their exceptional skills. This weekend was no different, though they faced the added challenge of contending with the UK's first storm of the year, and they all performed admirably.

Finally, WO2 Steve Walters has been appointed as the Juno Training Sergeant Major.

Certificate of Meritorious Service.

Last week, two of our Cadet Force Adult Volunteers received the prestigious award from His Majesty's Lord Lieutenant of Wiltshire.
Lieutenant Anthony Conlan and Warrant Officer Class 2 Richard Dutton

Lt. Conlan has made remarkable strides since taking command of the Royal Wootton Bassett Detachment in 2021. Under his leadership, the unit's numbers have surged from approximately ten cadets to over 40. Additionally, he has played a pivotal role in boosting the Abbey Park Detachment's strength from 15 to nearly 50. His current detachment at Swindon Academy is also showing great potential. Having now relocated back up North, where he originally hails from, we wish him all the best in his future endeavors.

WO2 Dutton has been honoured for his remarkable 13 years of volunteering, marked by his dedication, innovative ideas, and unwavering commitment to enhancing the experiences of both cadets and adult volunteers. His role as Company Sergeant Major, combined with his proficiency in Skill at Arms and fieldcraft, has significantly contributed to the elevation of training standards throughout the county.
