Our Marine Cadets detachment had a very successful Summer Camp being taken out of their comfort zone and being taught new skills.
These included Field Craft serials with blank ammunition, map reading over long distances, spending the nights out in the woods under basha sheets and cooking ration packs and live firing on the ranges out to distances of 600m
There was also plenty of downtime where our cadets made new friends who they will meet up with on future cadet events
Note : Cadets are taught weapon-handing skills as part of a structured programme of supervised training that emphasises safe and responsible use
