Massive well done to our cadets getting stuck into weekly parade training 💪

From sharp drill to learning how to run the field gun, you’ve really pulled the trigger on your progress and are firing on all cylinders 🎯

Keep it up – you’re gun-ning for success! #LipsonLife

Good luck to all our cadets heading out for their overnight camp on Dartmoor tonight! 🌄

Hope you moor than enjoy it and don’t take the experience for granite ⛰️😄

Have an awesome adventure – we’ll be rooting for you every step of the way! #LipsonLife

🚤🏄‍♂️ CCF Afloat is back!

Cadets hit Plymouth Sound last night — some took to the water powerboating, learning boat handling & speed control, while others mastered SUP skills, even teaming up 5 strong on one giant paddleboard! 🌊🙌

Forget the Europa League lucky losers final and the 'race' 🥱 for the Champions' League - this is the only football game this week that counts.

All for charity (It's in the Bag⚽️⚽️).

Spectators welcome.

Laughter encouraged.

Mild abuse expected.

Next up: Dartmoor!

Cadets put their new fieldcraft skills to the test after learning them on a Thursday parade night. Despite the soggy weather, they smashed their navigation around Princetown and wrapped up with a cracking breakfast at Fox Tor Café!

We've been quiet on here… only because we've been so busy!

First up this term: a cadet trip to the Fleet Air Arm Museum at RNAS Yeovilton ✈️

We explored historic aircraft and watched Wildcat helicopters take off and land!

[Lipson Academy CCF @LipsonCCF]

Our cadets got hands-on with camping stoves, gearing up for their fieldcraft weekend after Easter! Senior cadets took the lead—planning, teaching, and making sure no one went hungry. Top work on leadership & lesson delivery! 👏🎖️

🌹 A powerful Remembrance today as we honoured the Armed Forces of the UK and Commonwealth, paid tribute to military families and emergency services and remembered the innocent lives lost in conflict and terrorism.

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.
