Training [23 August]

The Secondary One cadets have attended a lecture on Crime Prevention and after going through a test, it is pleasing to know that all have passed with high distinctions. Well Done!

For the second part of the day, the Secondary One cadets had their campcraft test in preparation of their LCP Promotion. However, there are still cadets that didn't manage to name out the knots (correct spelling) and its uses.
