Farewell Sir!
Deputy Commandant,
Lieutenant Colonel McLeod OBE retires from Cornwall Army Cadets after 55 years of service.
Lieutenant Colonel McLeod OBE has been a pivotal member of the Army Cadets for over 55 years as a Cadet himself and then working himself up the ranks as a Cadet Force Adult Volunteer. His first camp as a cadet was at Penhale Camp, Newquay and in a circular way, his last was at the Cadet Training Centre, which included Penhale Sands for Nav & Exped.
Lieutenant Colonel McLeod received his OBE (The Most Excellent Order of the British Empire) in 2010 for his work in ensuring the survival of Hertfordshire and Bedfordshire Army Cadets in their amalgamation into Beds & Herts ACF. He then volunteered in a number of other ACF counties including Devon as training Commandant.
Lieutenant Colonel McLeod came out of retirement to join Cornwall in 2021 which has since grown from strength to strength with his help.
We wish him well and thank you for all your hard work and inspiring leadership over the last 3 years.

Preparing for Remembrance
The next big event on our community calendar is Remembrance Sunday parades and the poppy selling leading up to it.
Ask your detachment staff on tips and guidance on how best to polish your boots and iron your uniform, or suggest you have an evening of preparing your uniform before the big day.
To help you at home, there are plenty of good guides to watch on YouTube especially on the British Army channel, so check them out - just don’t get distracted by those cute cat videos!
Saltash Bag Packing
Cadets from Saltash and Liskeard took part in a bag pack at Waitrose in Saltash. They not only helped with bag packing, but they also helped to organise shelves. The cadets were supervised by SSI Coath, SI Walsh, SSI Launce, SI Edwards, and UO Philips.
The event raised nearly £800 which has been divided between Saltash and Liskeard detachments.
The cadets conducted themselves in a professional manner, and the manager was really impressed and would like to see us back soon!

Royal Cornwall Show
This was a fantastic success with a total of over 60 cadets and 20 CFAV attending over the three days at the Wadebridge show ground. This commitment to volunteer at the show made us look great and fully supported by our own people.
This year the stand included demonstrations of the cadets taking part in STEM and team building exercises, face-painting, our ever popular observation lane and the paint ball range.
As the first day of the show fell on the 80th anniversary of D-Day, we took our own parade lead by our Padre, Revd. Hart.
We made a lot of new contacts and many detachments received new cadets and CFAVs directly from the show.
As well as the recruitment opportunity, it is also important to get the cadets to be seen in the community and for them to develop their communication skills with the general public. The cadets, as usual, worked really hard and loved their time at the show!
Parade to remember D-Day
Torpoint D-Day Parade
Heads were held high as Torpoint Detachment took part is the town’s remembrance parade for D-Day on 6th June.
Torpoint, as well as many other coastal towns and villages on the Cornish coast, was directly involved with the invasion of France in 1944 as an embarkation point for some of the many troop transports heading to Normandy and the liberation of mainland Europe.
In July, Cadets and CFAVs from Torpoint then enjoyed a day of high octane, high ropes and high jinx, tree surfing in the Tamar valley.

Fieldcraft
In June, we took part in fieldcraft training weekend on the Boconnoc Estate. This included training 2, 3 and 4 star cadets in preparation for Summer Camp.
We stayed out in the field for two nights and although we had a little rain on the Friday night and on Saturday morning, the weather otherwise held off for us.
Fieldcraft is one of the most popular cadet activities in the Army Cadets. Fieldcraft and Military Knowledge are subjects almost unique to the Army Cadets
The training Two Star cadets trained in fire and manoeuvre, patrolling and harbour drills. Some of these cadets fired blanks for the first time and they loved it!
The Three and Four Star cadets had some more advanced training in types of patrols, planning, ambushes and section attacks.

Fire Station Visit
Cadets from St Austell Platoon recently visited the St Austell Fire Station to learn more about the Fire Service and all the different rescue operations they are trained in. This is an important element of Community Engagement that all the cadets take part in.
It was a very interesting visit and all the cadets got some hands on with the hoses and equipment.
SI Gray’s D-Day Challenge
In honour of our forefathers as well as current servicemen who have bravely fought to protect our way of life, I will be taking on the D-Day Challenge to raise vital funds for life-changing mental health treatment for veterans.
The D-Day 44 Challenge commemorates the 1944 Allied invasion of occupied France. I will be heading to Normandy, to race across its picturesque beaches, finishing at the historic Pegasus Bridge on the anniversary of D-Day, 6 June 2025.
Combat Stress is the UK’s leading charity for veterans’ mental health. For over a century, they’ve helped former servicemen and women deal with issues like trauma, anxiety, depression and post-traumatic stress disorder. Today, they provide support to veterans from every service and every conflict.
I’m taking on D-Day Challenge to help take vital strides towards ensuring veterans can get the support they need.

Lucknow Company Weekend
The Lucknow Company weekend took place at the end of August.
59 cadets and 13 CFAVs attended the jam packed weekend which included Basic level drill, navigation, fieldcraft, cadet engagement and military knowledge giving them a great leap ahead on their training. 1 stars took part in the clay shooting (part of the AT package) and their air rifle shoot. The 2 stars completed their Youth First Aid qualification. The senior cadets joined the 1 stars on the clay shooting range, and were taught cane drill by the Regimental Serjeant Major. The fun didn’t end there with team games and a disco on the Saturday evening.
About the weekend, Lieutenant Tomlinson said, “Colour Tomlinson and I were finally able to bring one of our missions to life, that is to facilitate clay shooting within Cornwall Army Cadets.
I feel both cadets and adults enjoyed the weekend. We tried to run interactive and fun training with evening activities to compliment the day’s events.”
“None of this would have been possible without the amazing volunteers giving up their personal time and bring the amazing energy they did, so a huge thank you to the CFAVs!”
Look forward to the Inkerman and Gibraltar weekend coming soon!
“ I hope we have inspired some budding new clay shooters and hope we can put a team together so we can attend the Cadet Clay Shooting Competition next year ”
included!

SUMMER CAMP DEBRIEF
The perfect way to spend the Summer!
Summer Camp 2024
This year, camp was held at our Cadet Training Centre opposite RAF St Mawgan, outside Newquay. However, unlike in 2023 when we had to change our plans at the last minute, this year we had planned the camp well in advance utilising best of our local resources. Also, unlike 2023, the weather was very kind to us - dry but not too hot!
The cadets were broken up into star grade cadres so we could concentrate on them passing their syllabus subjects. Summer camp is the culmination of the year’s training and an important chance to take part in activities only possible at the larger camps. These activates include expeditions, fieldcraft exercises and shooting on larger ranges with the A2 rifle.
“As the County Training Officer it was great to see how many subject and star passes were achieved by our cadets this summer camp. This was due to the selfless commitment of our Cadet Force Adult Volunteers and the dedication of
our cadets, all who gave up a week of their summer holidays to ensure we had a successful camp. I really look forward to seeing what the next twelve months will bring us. Big thanks to everyone!”

SUMMER CAMP DEBRIEF
Navigation and Expedition
Expeditions are a central part of Army Cadet life, this year the cadets navigated themselves along the beautiful coastal path near Perranporth, but in their cadet career, they could find themselves spending a few nights camping in a national park here in the UK or on an ambitious trek through the Himalayas.
Every year many expeditions are planned at detachment, county and national levels. The cadets started off with some training on how to prepare clothing and equipment. They will then learn how to safely carry a load and identify a suitable route as well as what makes an ideal camp site. In addition they will be taught how to pitch a tent and cook a meal on a camping stove.
SUMMER CAMP DEBRIEF
Fieldcraft
The cadets start by learning the basics of personal camouflage and how to move as an individual in the field, then go on to learn how to work together as a section in the field, before eventually commanding your own section.
Fieldcraft is taught throughout the year but during summer camp the cadets will get to live out in the field over a number of days. Working as a team to patrol an area at night and deal with a mock ambush is one of the most exciting exercises that you’ll experience during your cadet training.
Teamwork and communication are both skills developed in fieldcraft exercises that are readily transferable to everyday life.
SUMMER CAMP DEBRIEF
Careers fair
In the Army Cadets, we aim to fulfil the cadets’ full potential and this year at summer camp we held a careers fair to give the cadets a chance to see lots of different possible opportunities open the them in the future, from apprenticeships and college courses to everything the military offers.
The career stands included: NHS Foundation Trust, A&P Docks 232 RLC, 505 Sqn RAF, 6 RIFLES, Active Plus, Army Engagement, Army Careers, Cadet Vocational College, CJ Carpentry and Joinery, Cornish Lithium, Cornwall College, RN / RM Recruitment, SWAST, Truro Penwith College, Vistry. Thanks all!
Isles of Scilly
I feel really lucky, coming from the Isles of Scilly, to be able to attend cadet camp. It is a great opportunity to meet new people and develop my skills.
On the latest camp I learnt navigation, field craft and marksmanship.
My journey to get to camp involved a quad bike, a boat, a taxi, a plane and a car! The long journey was definitely worth it. I really enjoyed learning new skills and being able to meet and work with cadets from different areas of Cornwall.
I was given permission to leave camp a few hours early so I could catch the last flight home and sail in the annual Round the Island Race in the Isles of Scilly. I got home at 18.30 and was sailing down to the pre race briefing at 08.30 the next day.
The race goes round St Mary’s which is the largest island and finishes on St Agnes. I managed to be the second boat over the line this year which was an amazing experience.
I can’t wait to attend next year’s camp and hopefully compete in the Round the Island Sailing Race again.

VIP Day
Every year we invite important supporters and influential personalties to our VIP day. The VIPS were shown a short presentation on the past year in Cornwall Army Cadets and our plans for the future, with a chance to ask questions.
Then they were taken to join the 2 star cadets on their fieldcraft package and to have lunch with them of ration packs! The cadets helped cook for the VIPS so that they could try the food for themselves and a great chance to have conversations with the cadets, to find out more about their time with the ACF and camp. The VIPs found this very interesting and said how well the cadets interacting with them.
The guests included:
• Col Edward Bolitho OBE,
• Air Cdre (Retd) John Bessell Wx RFCA Cornwall Chair
• Brig (Retd) Nev Holmes, Wx RFCA Chief Exec
• Col Matt Palmer, Commander HQSW

SUMMER CAMP DEBRIEF
Senior 4 Star Cadre
The senior 3 and 4 star cadets this year were given the opportunity to take part in a range of different activities than normal this year.
Cadet Vocational College came down and ran a Btec level 2 to give them a useful qualification, they took part in courses in equality and diversity, writing CVs and interview techniques to coincide with the careers fair.
They then took part in the fieldcraft exercise as section commanders with the 1 star cadets.
Btec level 2 in teamwork and personal development in the community (scqf level 5)
Thousands of cadets achieve this valuable qualification every year. This qualification will help you develop a wide variety of skills including effective communication, career planning, the value of volunteering and character development.
Aimed at cadets aged 16-18, it is an ideal qualification to help strengthen higher education or job applications –it also looks great on a CV alongside school and college work.
Check cvcollege.org for more information.

SUMMER CAMP DEBRIEF
Shooting
One of the most exciting activities you’ll get to do in the Army Cadets is shooting. It is the main activity that differentiates the Army Cadets from most other youth organisations. Learning about shooting will teach you a number of key skills, the most important of which are discipline and safety awareness. It also brings with it a great sense of achievement.
As a cadet you will learn to shoot accurately using a range of cadet rifles but you will not be allowed to shoot any rifle until you have demonstrated a full understanding of the use of the rifle and the vital safety procedures.
While the cadets were waiting to shoot on the range, the Army Engagement team were keeping them mentally and physically engaged with games and team building tasks. The cadets really enjoyed these gamesthanks to the Engagement team!

DofE
Warhammer Alliance
Having read the article in the February issue of Soldier Magazine about Warhammer clubs/teams in the British Military, I have been working out the finer details of setting up a Wargaming/Warhammer group within Cornwall Army Cadets.
Wargaming is the playing of tabletop games with model soldiers against an opponent. Warhammer is a science fiction game, which for a long time has been the most popular hobby of it’s kind.
Running a ‘club’ within the Army Cadets poses a lot of possibilities, from being a safe place, having existing safeguarding and risk assessments and that we can use it to strengthen specific skills we already teach the cadets. It is only open to cadets and CFAV and would stick to the rules of any Cadet activity.
Playing wargames has been proven to improve social skills, tactical thinking, teamwork and is a good healthy minds exercise (it’s true, playing war games is good for you). Warhammer is very popular with teenagers and adults alike.
It allows cadets to practice tactical thought in an experimental and safe environment and gives a better understanding of the broad concepts in the art of conversation and persuasion.
Did you know Warhammer (and other wargaming) is also a specific DofE skills choice?
Playing wargames can hone a person’s strategic decisionmaking, adaptability, critical thinking abilities, and develop an understanding of the complexity involved in influence on the battlefield.
Warhammer can be an expensive hobby, so to stop this becoming a barrier, there are a few ways to get support and assistance setting up clubs like this.
I have already signed up to the Games Workshop’s Warhammer Alliance programme (that already works with DofE, schools and the Scouts) and I have received a box of miniatures, paints and paint brushes to show new players how to paint and play the games. If any cadet chooses Warhammer as a DofE Skill choice, they will also receive further support, magazines and more for free.
The club will start on Wednesday 18th September and will run once a month. You can sign up to it now on the Cadet Portal.
Warhammer Alliance offers the following:
• Develop your skills in Tactics and Battle Drills
• Improves focus
• Have fun
• Strengthen team work
• Official DofE Skill activity
• Beginners and veteran gamers welcome

New recruitment campaign: Be More...
Army Cadets Media & Communications are pleased to launch the Army Cadets ‘Be More’ Recruitment Pack, a valuable set of resources designed to support, compliment, and boost the local recruitment efforts of both cadets, and adult volunteers.
Whilst it is understood that this will not answer all the challenges surrounding both cadet and adult volunteer recruitment, we do hope that it helps, providing fresh, up to date, high quality resources, with a higher chance of engaging potential recruits!
Posters
A selection of generic and event specific posters have been provided for you to put up in and around the vicinity of your detachments, to either promote joining your County in general, or to promote an event you may be holding, such as an open day, or if you are attending a local fayre. A poster is available to edit based on what category of ‘Be More’ you may wish to use, with imagery showcasing the relevant activity(ies) associated to the category you choose.
The posters have an editable section to make it specific to your County and Detachments, whilst the rest of the poster is locked for editing. This will allow you to add some text that may promote an open day/ event, a session you are running, or simply where to find you.
Banners
Each County will be in receipt of new detachment banners, replacing the current ‘Level Up’ versions. Each county will receive 1 per detachment, and 5 extras, which can be used for Headquarters buildings, or Cadet Training Centres. In addition, the 5 extras can be used as spare in case of damage.
An additional stock of banners will be available from the Brand Hub.
