C & D Coy out in the field in Magilligan.
Local young people involved in the Army Cadets last weekend enjoyed a great time at Summer Camp 2022, held in Magilligan. The Cadets enjoyed memorable experiences, learning new skills and making friendships at the annual gathering.
During the weekend, Ballymena & Cullybackey Cadets from C Company 1st (NI) Battalion, Army Cadets received their Environmental Awards for taking part in The Queen’s Green Canopy (QGC) tree planting initiative to mark Her Majesty’s Platinum Jubilee in 2022.
Early in the year cadets from C Company took part in tree planting in the Ecos Centre, and along the Cullybackey Millennium Path.
Cullybackey cadets Lance Corporals Sarah Kirk and Alyssa Woods completed this by taking part in this planting, researching and caring of trees in the area, earning them the Special Edition Platinum Jubilee, Junior Forrester Award.

The John Muir Environmental Award Presentation
This award is also available to cadets within 1st (NI) Battalion Army Cadets and encourages cadets to care for their wild places. Ballymena and Cullybackey Cadets have been litter picking in the Ballymena area, while also learning about the environmentalist John Muir. This earned them the Discovery Award which is the 1st level of this Nationally recognised Award!
Newly promoted Cadet Lance Corporal Sarah Kirk said:
“I’ve had a fantastic time at Summer Camp and brilliant to finally receive these certificates”.
