200 recruits join ranks
200 recruits attended their first cadet camp in December 2007 and left as new members of the Barbados Cadet Corps. The recruits completed their initial training which commenced during the term and were exposed to the camp routine of the Corps during the camp which was under the command of Officer in charge of Junior Cadets, Major Peter Powlett.
The new cadets formed up on the Paragon parade square in preparation to reciting the cadet pledge and being formally admitted into the BCC by the Commandant.
These recruits get their dressing right under the guidance of the NCOs attached to the groups.
Hundreds of parents and guardians and guardians were on hand to cheer the new cadets on for their first parade.
