Mocktails and Morals 🍹⭐

Cadet NCOs from across LNR came together for a focused development package designed to strengthen leadership, responsibility, and understanding of ACF Values & Standards.
Through a series of interactive sessions, cadets explored what it really means to be an NCO; looking at how core values underpin the LEADERS code, and how leadership is demonstrated through everyday actions, not just rank. Group discussions highlighted key themes including role modelling, maintaining standards, and making a positive difference within their detachments.
A dedicated session on Diversity & Inclusion challenged cadets to think about responsibility beyond leadership tasks—focusing on creating an environment where everyone feels respected, valued, and included.
The weekend wasn’t all classroom-based. An evening social event gave cadet NCOs the chance to relax and build stronger connections through a series of informal, engaging activities—proving that leadership is as much about cohesion as it is about command.
A strong weekend of learning, reflection, and teamwork—setting the standard for the next generation of ACF leaders.
