Army Cadets with award

Army Cadets from Forres Detachment have been named the 2019 winners of the annual Moray Company Inter-Detachment Competition. 

Ten cadets from the 1st Battalion the Highlanders detachment represented Forres against cadets from across Moray Company in the day-long competition, held at the end of November.

The competition saw almost 60 cadets from the company’s Elgin, Forres, Nairn, Ardersier, Culloden and Pipes & Drums Detachments represent their respective detachments across eight different stands, some held in the warmth of the Battalion Cadet Training Centre in Dingwall and others from the cold of the Fort George Training Area, testing their knowledge of the cadet training syllabus – from First Aid to Drill & Turnout – at their relevant training level.

In each stand cadets competed individually for points for their detachment. The points were tallied at the end of the competition, with an overall detachment average taken to decide the winner. Although the competition is to see who is the best detachment, there is always camaraderie between the detachments, with everyone hoping everyone does well.

On Saturday evening the cadets sat down for their annual awards dinner, which was served to them by their company instructors and saw the opportunity for the cadets to dress up.

The annual awards dinner marks the culmination of a year of success for the company, from having UK Sports Champions to retaining the Champion Company trophy at the Battalion’s annual camp in Warcop for the third year in a row.
