In Training Company most outdoor activities take place at Tomslinscote School using the adjacent woodlands.

We do everything that the real army train for and include:

Ambushing – We practice attacking enemy, and defending camp. This includes lots of shouting and noise so the cadets always enjoy these exercises and look forward to them all the time.

Camouflage – This is when the cadets get a chance to get messy by camouflaging their selves using camocream and local greenery. The process is called camouflage meaning blending into your surroundings.

Basha & HQ Building – The Cadets get a chance to build shelter that the regular army use. They also build headquarters, and basha using the local woodlands resources. This involves team work and help them develop their skills of working with other cadets.

Map Reading – We use what we learn in lessons in a practical situation. This normally entails the cadets directing themselves from point A to point B.

Cooking – This involves us using processes used the army, and all cadets get a chance to try the real food that soldiers use whilst on 24 hours exercises. We also take the opportunity of teaching them safety when cooking and the effect of fire on mother nature.

Physical Training – In Training Company we try to keep the cadets fit by playing team exercises. These include our indoor assault course, and ball games. We also do cross country in the summer for any cadets interested, and there is normally a prize for the winner. We also do a sponsored walk each year and raise money for the corps.
