We are Huntingdon based but we cover, and are looking for, cadets or volunteers from all surrounding areas, including Godmanchester, St Ives, St Neots, Ramsey, Sawtry, Somersham and Warboys, as well as other areas.
What do you do?
At Huntingdon we aim to give young people an experience that will help them grow into the person they want to be in a safe and friendly environment. Through various activities and adventures, we learn teamwork, respect, loyalty, self-confidence, commitment, self-discipline, honesty and how to be the best version of ourselves.
