The day, organised by Yorkshire based groups of Army Cadets, was attended by Mayors from Towns and Cities across Yorkshire including Morley, Bradford, Wakefield, Wetherby and Richmond.
It was a fabulous day where we all gained a valuable insight into the work the Army Cadets undertake and the opportunities they offer for young people.
Councillors were shown the different skills cadets were developing include First Aid, wall climbing, communication skills and camouflage techniques. Cadets were also given certificates for their achievements over the last year.
The Army Cadets offer many opportunities for local young people, both girls and boys. They develop skills such as resilience and self-motivation along with teamwork and practical skills that they can use later in life. It was a pleasure and a delight to attend and to meet so many well motivated youngsters. We are exploring what options are available to bring an Army Cadet Corp to the Morley area.
