Cadets have the opportunity to learn life skills whilst having fun and making friends.
Why the community needs usWhilst motivating young people to make the most of their opportunities, extend their knowledge and develop into responsible young citizens which will help them in future careers, their training has core values which include respect, loyalty, self-discipline, commitment, honesty and integrity. Btec Public Services and the Duke of Edinburgh award are just two of the qualifications cadets can obtain which employers value.
