On 25 July, 217 cadets and 65 adult volunteers came together for the 8 days of Summer Camp 2026.

There were challenges overcome, new friendships made, plenty of adventures and some brilliant moments that reminded us what Summer Camp – and the Army Cadet Force – is really about.

From nights under shelters and new experiences to Norwegian friendships, cadets looking out for each other and one young person who arrived thinking this would be their last camp... and left having decided to stay.

With Summer Camp just a week away, we’re reminding all cadets that looking out for each other matters.

Sometimes a simple “Are you alright?” or checking in on a friend can make a huge difference. If something doesn’t feel right — trust your instincts and speak up.

At Berkshire ACF, no cadet is ever alone. There is always support available from trusted Adult Volunteers and through the Army Cadets safeguarding system.

We all play a part in creating a safe, supportive and inclusive environment where everyone can enjoy camp, make memories and look after one another.

Stay Safe. Look After Your Friends. Speak Up.

A perfect day on the range!

Congratulations to the 17 cadets who successfully completed their 3-Star Shooting Assessment on 4 July, achieving an outstanding 100% pass rate.

With soaring temperatures testing everyone throughout the day, the cadets showed impressive focus, determination and resilience to achieve a fantastic result.

The day also included a special presentation as the Deputy Commandant formally presented Lieutenant Knott with his commissioning certificate, marking an important milestone in his Army Cadet Force journey.

A huge thank you goes to all the CFAVs who delivered the training and assessment, with special thanks to Captain Fitzgibbon for his support in preparing the cadets.

Congratulations to everyone involved on a brilliant achievement!

As we count down to Summer Camp, the safety and wellbeing of every cadet remains our top priority.

Safeguarding is everyone’s responsibility and we want every young person to know how to speak up, report concerns and get support if something doesn’t feel right.

Whether it’s talking to a trusted adult volunteer, reporting online or seeking help in an emergency – support is always available.

Please take a few moments to look through the safeguarding information below before camp.

Stay Safe. Speak Up.

Just another parade night at 9 Platoon, Caversham? Think again...

Night vision goggles, body armour, bergens and plenty of questions!

Our cadets recently welcomed Captain Powell and Lance Corporal Cunningham from 871 Transport Squadron, 151 Regiment Royal Logistic Corps, for a fascinating evening exploring military equipment and hearing first-hand about life in the Army Reserves.

It was a brilliant opportunity to broaden horizons, ask honest questions and hear first-hand experiences from serving Army Reservists.

A huge thank you to our visitors for giving up their time, and to SSgt Holly Tucker and the team at 9 Platoon for hosting such an engaging evening.

Thinking every parade night is the same? We'd love to prove you wrong.

A huge well done to everyone from 15 Platoon who supported today's Theale Village Fete.

The cadets spent the day assisting Theale Parish Council with setting up before the event, supporting activities throughout the day and helping with the pack down afterwards. They also ran a Berkshire ACF stand, speaking to visitors about the opportunities available through the Army Cadets and encouraging potential new recruits to find out more.

It was wonderful to receive so many positive comments about the cadets and to see such a high level of interest in Berkshire ACF. Even in the hot weather, they showed enthusiasm, professionalism and a real willingness to help.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by to say hello, and an especially big well done to the cadets of 15 Platoon. You did yourselves and Berkshire ACF proud.

Some weeks seem to pack in more memories than others.

For Berkshire Army Cadets, the start of the summer meant medals on the athletics track, standing pitch-side at Wembley for the Women's FA Cup Final and taking on the National Rivalry Sports Cup for the very first time.

Three very different events. One thing in common. Young people stepping outside their comfort zone, representing Berkshire with pride and discovering opportunities they might never have imagined.

A Red Extreme Heat Warning has been issued by the Met Office for Wednesday and Thursday, with temperatures expected to climb to at least 39°C. Everyone is reminded of the importance of managing heat illness risk in all cadet activity & those delivering training must continuously assess conditions, with activity reduced or cancelled if required.

Look out for the signs of heat illness:
❗️Headache, dizziness and confusion
❗️Loss of appetite or feeling sick
❗️Excessive sweating & pale, clammy skin
❗️Cramps in the arms, legs & stomach

If you suspect heat illness, stop the activity immediately, get the casualty into the shade, and cool them down quickly by removing excess clothing and using wet towels, sheets, or a spray to cool them. If they are conscious, give them water to sip. If they are unconscious, place them in the recovery position and call 999/112.
