Our cadets were out supporting the Poppy Appeal today. It’s an important part of how we support our community, and it was lovely to see them giving up an hour of their weekend to help — or many more in some cases.

Thank you to everyone who volunteered and to all who stopped by to show their support.

Early in the year Camborne Library kindly donated us a series of old Microbitz. We’ve had great use of them at the Squadron and last week they took a trip on camp.

This mean cadets from across the South West got to use them! We had cadets from South Dartmoor down to Helston using them.

What a fantastic resource and we can’t thank the library enough.

Our OC, Flt Lt Cairns, has been presented with a five-year Long Service Award for her work supporting the Royal British Legion’s Poppy Appeal.

Having supported various RBL branches over the years, Flt Lt Cairns was keen to get involved with the local Poppy Appeal when she moved to Camborne.

Our main Remembrance Parade takes place in Camborne in the morning, and it remains an important part of our Squadron’s Remembrance Sunday.

In the afternoon, we’ll gather at Treslothan for a special service with a distinctive role for our cadets. Each year, our NCOs design, lead and run the service themselves. This gives them the opportunity to learn about the importance of remembrance and to share its meaning in a way that is thoughtful and personal to them.

Both services are important ways for our Squadron and community to remember. Everyone is welcome to join us in the afternoon.

Sunday 8 November 2026, at 2:00pm
Treslothan Church, followed by the Act of Remembrance at the War Memorial.

This week Cpl B joined 73 other cadets across 36 Squadrons, 7 wings and 2 regions for her Silver DofE practice.

Fantastic organisation from the lead staff and we can’t thank them enough. Cpl Beever had a fantastic time and is looking forward to doing her actual expedition

Some of our cadets, staff and Civilian Committee had the opportunity to attend the grand opening of Holman Gardens, a brand-new community green space in the heart of Camborne. It was wonderful to celebrate this exciting addition to the community and see a space created for everyone to enjoy.

Despite the miserable weather, our cadets and staff were proud to stand alongside the RBL for the launch of the Poppy Appeal. We’re incredibly proud of everyone who turned out and showed their support.

We look forward to supporting the appeal over the next couple of weeks. You can find us at Tesco on 31 October, 1 November and 7 November. Please come and say hello and, if you can, support the Poppy Appeal.

4/4 — Our stories are still being written…

A careers conversation doesn’t have to end with a decision.

It might leave you with a new question, a different perspective or a possibility you hadn’t thought about before.

As we close our Careers Café series, we’re celebrating the curiosity of our cadets, the experiences shared by our guests and the chance to bring RAF Air Cadets and Cornwall Army Cadets together.

Community, adventure, mentoring and resilience — the words on our squadron chalkboard are a fitting reminder that Skills for Life reach well beyond any one job.

Our cadets don’t need all the answers today. There’s plenty of their story still to write.

3/4 — Skills for Life in conversation

Asking a question. Listening to someone’s experience. Sharing a thought of your own.

Our Careers Café gave cadets the opportunity to practise these everyday skills through real conversations with our guests.

Photo albums and folders helped bring stories to life, but the conversations went both ways. Cadets weren’t simply an audience — they had space to contribute, ask questions and follow their curiosity.

Communication, confidence and curiosity matter far beyond a careers evening. They’re skills to carry into whatever comes next.
