DRILL , TURN OUT & MILITARY KNOWLEDGE

 Through Foot Drill Cadets are taught the importance of obedience and discipline as well  as learning how to work together as a team. Whether it be on the parade square or moving around the barracks, its important to be able to move large numbers of people from point to  point whilst making sure they look smart. Through Military Knowledge,

 

SKILL AT ARMS

Shields learn to be disciplined and safe when handling  weapons and no firing of weapons is permitted until shilds have demonstrated these skills. Once a shield has

demonstrated his or her ability to control a weapon safely and with discipline, they are  given the opportunity to practice their skills on a range

MAP AND COMPASS

 shields learn to navigate safely from point to point using a map and a compass. This is often  taught from a military perspective with the shields having the opportunity to practice their skills in orienteering exercises

 

 

FIELDCRAFT

Fieldcraft is a term used  to describe the basic military skills required to operate stealthily at  day or night regardless of weather or terrain. The motto of field craft is "to see without being seen"; this is upheld through the skills learned in field craft lessons.  shields learn how to  look after themselves  when away from the comforts of home as well as the basics of military tactics. Fieldcraft gives Cadets the opportunity to practice their leadership and teamwork.

 

FIRST AID

 In today's world the basic skills of First Aid could be the most important skills anyone ever learns. The ability to save life cannot be priced. During their regular training shield are introduced to First aid, and can pursue the St. Johns Ambulance First Aid Certificate.

 

ADVENTURE TRAINING

Adventure Training allows cadets to  practice camp craft whilst at the same time developing stamina, discipline, initiative and self-reliance by means of an expedition  involving a minimum of 15 miles on foot and one night.

LEADERSHIP TRAINING

 The art of leadership, followed closely by the skills of management,  are perhaps the most valuable aspects of the experience as a cadet, and the most relevant to adult life.  The opportunity to command, manage, and lead other people in the number of a section, a platoon, or a company,  prepares the shield for positions of responsibility in  future careers

 

SHILED AND THE COMMUNITY
