GETTING READY FOR ANNUAL CAMP

The count down to Annual Camp has certainly begun and with just over 10 weeks to go before we deploy to Okehampton I would urge a last call to adults and cadets to attend. The provisional figures show that we should see something like 550-600 adults and cadets attending what promises to be very enjoyable and rewarding experience.  Talking to cadets as I go around the County it is clear that information is being passed down and there is a good understanding of what is on offer and what we are aiming to achieve.
 
Remember, Annual Camp this year will be different for a number of reasons; we will be joined by cadets and adults from the Italian Army Cadet Force, who will be joining the 3 star cadre (to be followed by our cadets and adults visiting Italy next year). Ranges this year will be delivered by a Permanent Range Team (PRT) which should further improve the County's shooting skills. The adventure training package being organised this year should be second to none and takes full advantage of the opportunities afforded by Okehampton's position. Finally, I am hoping that our County badge will be on display and easily recognisable on our new uniforms!
