CCF Summer camp What's going to happen

Penhale THS CCF Penhale

Administration CCF T-shirts are a necessity for camp in order to be part of a team- “Swift and Bold” Males will be split into two billets, one under the command of CSM Spriggs/ Sgt Harraway, the other under command of C/Sgt Daw and C/Sgt Kircher-Smith. The girls will be in separate billets which will be under the command of the female NCO’s- Cpl Fitz-Gerald. You will be split into three sections and get mingling! You will have a kit list given to you before camp, you must make sure you have all the kit stated. REMEMBER-Camp may be challenging at times, give your 101% and you will get a lot out of it. You will need to maintain a high standard of kit, this is important as there will be other cadets from other units, we need to show that we are the best, don’t worry the NCO’s will help you.
