Angus and Dundee Battalion Army Cadet Force has been presented with a prize after coming top in HRFCA’s webbing competition held during the tri-Service Cadet Open Day in Dundee on 28 September.

The open day saw local cadet units setting up stands in City Square, showcasing the benefits and available opportunities within the Sea Cadet Corps (SCC), Army Cadet Force (ACF), and Royal Air Force Air Cadets (RAFAC). Read our report from the event.

The event was rounded off with the action-packed webbing competition, which involved three teams dismantling and reassembling webbing kit. Angus and Dundee Battalion ACF came out on top in the close-run competition, dethroning the Sea Cadets from Training Ship Duncan who were the 2023 champions.
