We're a full week into our 2026 Training Programme and it's great to see cadets seizing opportunity as we run exciting events and courses!

Today, six cadets have been 'on the air' with our communications equipment, getting in key hours ahead of their assessments.

As well as being an important life skill, qualified cadets may use radios across many of our activities and events.

Well done!
