What did you do this weekend?

LNR Cadet NCOs spent the weekend at Yardley Chase, developing the leadership skills needed to take the next steps in their Army Cadets journey — equipping them with tools that will be invaluable throughout their lives.

Through practical activities including fieldcraft and first aid, cadets focused not just on what to do, but how to lead and support others through these activities. The weekend also included important classroom sessions on leadership, diversity and inclusion, reinforcing the values expected of cadet leaders.

A valuable and rewarding weekend for all involved

Come and join the fun and make your weekends exciting!
