FACILITIES

• Baby Change

Parades on a Monday from 7.30pm to 9pm at Humber Road Barton upon Humber, DN18 5BN. Open to 12-18 year olds.

Detachments conduct weekly training throughout the year, plus Company weekends away and a one or two week Annual Camp.

Training includes:

• Military skills like Shooting, Fieldcraft, First Aid and Navigation.
• Vocational training (BTEC) and the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award Scheme.

We also have an enthusiastic sporting syllabus and have competed nationally against other ACF Counties in Football, Rugby and Swimming. This provides skills, qualifications and experiences that can benefit a cadet way beyond the boundaries of the ACF and are in fact skills for life.

Are you aged over 18? If so, have you thought about becoming an Army Cadet Force adult volunteer? There is no set profile for an ACF adult volunteer and you do not need to have any military experience. No particular experience is required and we provide all necessary training. If you are available one or two evenings a week and want to do something different with your free time, this could be exactly what you are looking for.

When you speak to our adult volunteers, they will tell you they enjoy the fun, friendship, action and adventure the ACF provides. They also enjoy making a real difference to young people in their community –If yourself, a family member or a friend would be interested in joining then you can register an interest by either speaking to one of our team on 01377 319952 or by emailing yh-hsy-com@rfca.org.uk. Alternatively, you can register an interest by visiting our website https://armycadets.com or enquire at your local detachment.

We walk locally and in East Yorkshire and meet the 3rd Saturday in the month and new members are most welcome. Walks are up to 6 to 7 miles. All ages welcome.  For more details  contact :Secretary Maggie Taylor on  01652 661651
