Coastal Course Complete 🌊🌬️ Last weekend, we took Coastal Course Complete 🌊🌬️

Last weekend, we took to the coast for our latest course and what a success it was!

With ever-changing weather conditions, the group were pushed out of their comfort zones and challenged to adapt their skills to a completely different environment. From wind and rain to brighter spells, it was the perfect opportunity to test resilience, teamwork and decision-making in real coastal terrain.

A fantastic effort from everyone involved! 👏

Thanks to Kingairloch Estate for allowing us to host our coastal course again, the perfect area for it!👌
Adventure Camp with Black Watch Battalion ACF Cade Adventure Camp with Black Watch Battalion ACF Cadets 🌲

Last week, we welcomed the 3-star training cadets from Black Watch Battalion ACF for an action-packed 2-day, 1-night exercise.

Throughout the exercise, cadets developed and tested a range of essential skills, including shelter building (both natural and man-made), fire lighting, water filtration, creating a location action plan and whittling.

To finish, everything they learned was put to the ultimate test in a final challenge - pushing teamwork, resilience and problem-solving to the limit.

A brilliant effort from all involved 👏🔥
