Silver Duke of Edinburgh expedition
An account of a Silver Duke of Edinburgh Award expedition by Cpl Jones.
Within Cadets I have participated in many activities. One of the activities I have taken part in is a expedition of the Duke of Edinburgh silver award. I thoroughly enjoyed participating within this activity as I met new cadets from various squadrons. The award had given me a lot of confidence and I feel like I had gotten to know the cadets better than what I knew them beforehand as we were sharing the same tent and eating together and spending two whole days within each others company.
Bron-y-gader account
Cadets recently enjoyed another stay at the Bron-y-gader outdoor persuits centre in North Wales. Here is an account by one of the cadets:
