Additional Opportunities
We are a squadron in London Wing, which contains 28 squadrons all across London. Together, various courses and camps are run at a higher qualification level we are able to provide on a parade evening, providing excellent training and residential camps.
We regularly get the opportunity to go flying or gliding, and also have the chance to enter shooting competitions, under the supervision of very experienced volunteers.
Community Engagement
We pride ourselves by being a public presence representing the RAF and the RAF Air Cadets. We take pride in marching through
Hornchurch every year in the Remembrance day parade, and during the build up we work closely with the Royal British Legion to help fundraise.
Adventure Training
We offer the Duke of Edinburgh's scheme, which is much cheaper through us compared to at school. This is because our staff are volunteers. Two of our staff on squadron are Mountain Leaders, which is a prestigious qualification meaning that they are experts in this area!
We also frequently go Road Marching, with our own Road Marching Team Leader on our squadron.
We also have several archery instructors, and partake in water activities like kayaking.
Annual Camps and weekends away
We frequently have camps on offer for our cadets, 'annual camps' are generic camps that anybody can attend, spending a week with other cadets.
Additionally, cadets can attend more advanced camps, to achieve Gold level badges or receive expert training in things like the National Air & Space camp, or National Music Camp.
