The Barbados Cadet Corps (BCC) will be staging a number of local and overseas camps during the summer period for cadets at various levels.

 

Aim. The aim of these camps is to expose cadets to training at their respective level in an unfamiliar territory.

Objectives. The main objectives of these trips are to provide an opportunity for the cadets to demonstrate their skills and efficiency at operating in an environment unfamiliar to them. Additionally it affords the cadets participating to interact and train with cadets at their equivalent level in the respective country visited.

Participation. All cadets except junior and star one levels are expected to participate in these overseas camps. Junior cadets and star one cadets will attend local camp in Barbados.

Passports. Cadets traveling overseas are to be in possession of a valid      passport (valid up to six month after date of travel). Such individuals must have their passport number available on request and will have to bring the passport to cadet HQ for verification of the number.

Examinations. Prior to camp a number of exam days will be scheduled for Star Two, Three and Four cadets. Star One cadets will be tested during the star one camp.

Parent Consent. Each Cadet attending local and overseas camps must have the appropriate parent consent form filled out and signed by their parent / guardian.
