Are You Ready to Join Us
OUR NEXT INTAKE STARTS IN SEPTEMBER 2023
OUR TROOPS
Each troop is designed for a target age group so that we can tailor our training to the appropriate level of the cadets. It also allows for promotion as you progress through the academy and continue your development within the subsequent troops.
Age 7 - 9 (Yr 3 & 4)
What is a Patroller? A Patroller is a younger member of our academy. They are eager to get hands on and learn new life skills from an early age that sets them up to join the older troops. They follow a more digestbale syllabus appropriate for their age. This where our future leaders begin their journey.
Prior Experience: None required.
Cap badge meaning: The unique shape of our Patroller badge is distinctive due to the 3 peaks at the top. These peak represent the mountains and our connection with the outdoors. The colour maroon is associated with passion, ambition and confidence.

What is a Pioneer? The meaning of Pioneer is someone who sees potential, a leader who is willing to try new things. A Pioneer pushes boundaries to advance a cause sometimes by overcoming great challenges. A perfect name for our next troop who want to come and learn new skills.
Prior Experience: None required.
Cap badge meaning: The circle of the badge is the face of a compass that guides us to move in the right direction. The climber on a mountain is the meaning behind pushing our boundaries and overcoming challenges.
Joining the Pioneers is an exciting opportunity. It’s the first step you will take in your journey to better yourself and learn lifelong skills that will stay with you forever. We might be the youngest troop in the academy but that doesn’t mean we aren’t the strongest. You will have the chance to bond with your troop and make lots of close friendships that ordinary clubs can’t compete with. We are a professional unit that supports each other and overcomes tremendous challenges together as a team. Are you ready to join the Pioneers?
Age 12 - 16 (Year 7 to 11)
What is a Ranger? In the military a Ranger is part of a highly trained army unit used to conduct special operations. They are ready for anything, able to work in complex environments and can operate self reliantly on their own or part of team. A great comparison with our own troop who being slightly older will take on a bit more responsibility.
Prior Experience: None required. You can join our troop directly. It is not necessary to have completed the previous troop.
Cap badge meaning: Rangers don’t need to brag about their status so the simple, less is more, logo sums them up perfectly with the letter R. The shield is a sign of strength and shelter against injury which represents the values of how Rangers always look after their team mates. The green background represents the wilderness and a reminder of how adaptable they are in different environments.
Joining the Rangers is the next level in the academy. Rangers take on greater responsibility compared to Pioneers and slightly more is expected of them. The troop will run through more than just the basics of being an adventure cadet and the theory of leadership will begin to be emphasised more in this stage of the journey. Join us if you want to learn how to lead like a Ranger!
