🎖️What an incredible start to Legacy Week!

As part of Legacy Week, our cadets proudly supported Legacy Australia at the Penrith Show, helping raise an outstanding $4,000+.

Throughout the weekend, our cadets volunteered their time, engaged with the local community and helped raise vital funds in support of veterans’ families.

A huge thank you to everyone who donated and supported Legacy over the weekend, and to Legacy for giving our cadets the opportunity to contribute to such an important cause.

👏 Over $4,000 raised — an incredible result for an incredible cause!

🌿 From Recruits to the Field! 🪖

It’s been a busy couple of weekends at 21 ACU Penrith, with our newest Recruits taking some big steps in their cadet journey!

Our Recruit Induction Weekend saw our newest members officially issued their uniforms and introduced to life at 21 ACU. It was fantastic to see them proudly wearing their uniforms for the first time!

Just one week later, they jumped straight into their first field experience as part of our Term 3 Bivouac.

Throughout the weekend, cadets put their skills to the test through a range of practical activities, including first aid training and scenarios, bushcraft and survival skills, and navigation. It was a great opportunity for our experienced cadets to continue developing their field skills while helping our newest Recruits learn the ropes.

A fantastic effort from everyone involved, and an exciting start for our newest members of 21 ACU!

Welcome to the adventure! 💪🌿

What an outstanding Week for 21 ACU!

Over the recent July Promotion and Elective Courses, our cadets embraced every challenge, developing new skills, building confidence, and creating lifelong memories.

We were especially excited to have a number of our cadets attend the Marksmanship Course, where they gained valuable experience in precision shooting, safety, and discipline.

A massive congratulations also goes to our future leaders who successfully completed their:
🟢 Corporal Course
🟢 Sergeant Course
🟢 Cadet Warrant Officer / Under Officer Course (CWC)

These courses represent months of preparation, dedication, and hard work. We couldn't be prouder of each cadet for stepping up, challenging themselves, and continuing to grow as leaders within the Australian Army Cadets.

What a huge fortnight at 21 Army Cadet Unit! 🎉

We were incredibly proud to see our Officer Commanding promote three of our DAH’s to Second Lieutenant (AAC). Congratulations to our newest officers as they begin the next stage of their journey within the Australian Army Cadets. 🎉

Our cadets also had the privilege of welcoming a representative from Legacy Australia who delivered an insightful presentation on the incredible support they provide to veterans. We are excited to be partnering with Legacy and supporting their efforts at the upcoming Penrith Show. 💪

To top it all off, we officially unveiled our brand-new Unit Patch! The patch proudly represents our unit identity, community spirit, and connection to the Penrith region. (We’re looking forward to the Penrith Panthers bringing home another premiership! 😎)

Another great night of training at 21 ACU during our Term 2 Week 4 Parade Night!! 💪

Our Pipes & Drums drummers were hard at work continuing to develop and refine their drumming techniques, showing excellent commitment and improvement throughout the night.

Across the Unit, our troops were busy tackling First Aid training, developing valuable practical skills and knowledge that are important both within Cadets and everyday life.

To conclude, Our Officer Commanding had the privilege of promoting two deserving cadets to the rank of Cadet Lance Corporal — congratulations on your achievement and recognition of your hard work and leadership potential.
