Welcome
The Air Cadet Organization is a national youth organisation sponsored by the Royal Air Force in the UK. Membership is open to young people aged between 13 and 22
years, inclusive. It is also one of the largest youth organisations in the UK with close to forty thousand cadets attending nearly 900 units spread out over the whole of the country. Cadets can join the Corps between the ages of 13 to 18 years. The squadrons are staffed by both uniformed and civilian volunteers. This website is focused on the Sussex Wing Adventure Training Team and what it does within the organisation and fundamentally within Sussex Wing. Adventure Training forms an essential part of the Air Cadet's training syllabus. As well as helping cadets forge new friendships, adventure training enables all cadets to show off their leadership qualities, fitness and test their skills and confidence.
There is a wide ranging Adventure Training syllabus in the ACO - depending on the squadron you attend, you could try your hand at water sports, skiing, mountain walking, climbing or caving. Adventure Training within the Air Training Corps takes many forms, in fact to many to list here. Each activity is supervised by an experienced, qualified instructor and qualified first aiders are always on hand. Risk assessments are made for each activity and written assessments produced. Cadet safety is always paramount.
Adventure Training is designed to take Cadets out of their normal situation, to make them work as a team on a unfamiliar task, to improve their self confidence and leadership skills and to enable them to work outside of their everyday situations.
