Volunteering Section: Cadets need to complete six hours of volunteer work, this could be litter picking, supporting vulnerable community members, helping run virtual parade nights the list goes on….
Physical Section: Cadets select three activities (ball speed bounce, sit-ups, press ups, skipping, single leg squat thrust or sprint) cadets carry out the three activities weekly over 8 weeks and record their scores. At the end of the 8 weeks cadets need to have shown an improvement.
Well done keep up the good work….
