We are now able to offer a quality experience in terms of the resources that we have and the wonderful awards that we can present to those cadets who have shown dedicated commitment and service in leading the other cadets. The Contingent Banners give us something we can be really proud of and set a high standard for the cadets to live up to. Our enormous gratitude goes to all those who have donated to making the Cadet Force so special. Alex Hamilton, Head of CCF
