Last weekend, four of our cadets enjoyed a fantastic afternoon of archery at the Sight Scotland Veterans Centre in Paisley 🏹

The team learned to master their technique—from stringing the bow to precision aiming—and enjoyed some friendly competition.

Thank you to the Sight Scotland staff for providing such a welcoming and engaging experience! 🏹👏

At the end of this month, brave cadets from 2414 will be participating in the Great Tommy Sleep Out to raise money that will support Veterans experiencing homelessness 🌹

Our cadets and staff will camp outside overnight in cold March weather to highlight the harsh reality thousands of veterans endure.

To support the cadets, we are asking for any donations people can give that will go towards our fundraising target

Thank you,
From team 2414

This March, we're taking part in The Great Tommy Sleep Out. Every night, thousands of veterans right here in the UK are facing the harsh reality of sleeping rough. Together, we can change it. We'll be swapping the comfort of our beds for one night, or more, under the stars. No frills. No luxury. Eve...

What a brilliant Saturday for our cadets!

2414 East Kilbride Sqn was invited down to the East Kilbride Farm Show to host a recruitment stall.

✈️ We were able to speak to potential new cadets, engage with the public and share just some of the amazing things we do!

At a bonus, cadets were given a shot on the Nerf Battle Arena to blow off some steam.

I think we can tell by their faces they had a good time! 🔫

A massive thank you to the EK Farm Show organisers for all their help 👏

Want to join? We are holding our next open night on Monday 25th August. Register your interest at [email protected]
