Raft Building
On Friday 15th August instead of a normal parade night a group of 8 cadets lead by CI Buckingham and CI Sparkes and assisted by CI Fryer took to the water and Bungay Staithe to building a raft.
The cadets were given a certain amount of time to construct their raft before taking it down to the water and paddling it down river to rescue another cadet who had been placed on the shore.
The evening gave the cadets the opportunity to socialise in a different way, work together as a team and also prepare for future activities.
The initial launch wasn't so successful so the team took their vessel off the water and tried again, this time with more success and they set off to rescue the stranded cadet.
“The idea was to get cadets into a different learning environment and to let them enjoy themselves outside of the normal squadron setting. It is the first time we have done this so there area few things we have learnt for next time but overall everyone had fun and worked very well as a team”
