🇬🇧Army Reserves - Community Engagement🇬🇧

This morning local members of 10 Lovat Scouts Field Troop, Orkney volunteered at the Kirkwall parkrun. We were delighted to help out the community and support a fully volunteer-run event for locals and visitors to enjoy!

Thankfully, Reservists were on hand to assist with the obstacle removal which avoided delays.

The Army Reserves are always recruiting, if you'd like to discuss opportunities, please get in touch.

Time for a little update I think!

Since the departure of Cpl Petrie, we haven't stopped here in Weyland, troops took to Barry Barrybudden to complete training to go towards their annual bounty. This included sleeping in field conditions and section level tasks which included simulated enemy engagements.

We also welcome back a fully trained Spr Richard Kilpatrick who successfully completed his final phase of basic training. Unfortunately it did rain during the parade but spirits where high!

Training continues this weekend also, with a team coming from the mainland to help us deliver effective communications training! Get involved.

Well, what can we say, last night we bid farewell to a Troop legend. As Cpl David Petrie 's extensive career draws to a close. Members of 124 Field Support Squadron came together to bid him fair well. He's had a career spanning just over 37 years. That's longer than the current PSI has been alive!

Aptly named The Last Lovat Scout, he's been honoured as such. Cpl P was presented with a personalised Rudis to mark this special occasion - a Rudis was presented to Gladiators during Roman times when they reached retirement or when granted freedom. They carried the Rudis as a symbol of freedom and a new life - although still highly lethal these Rudiarii (Gladiators presented a Rudis) where still to be feared - and never strayed far from the arena, most becoming tutors or referees. Fitting for Cpl P, as he will always be welcome in the troop for the rest of his days - plus, someone has to test his home made port!

Truly an honour to have seen this milestone. There's not a man more deserving of such an accolade - accepted in Daves signature humility.

We wish him all the best.
