Aim. To select, through a number of competitive events and interviews, the ACF Champion Cadet of the year.
Qualification. NIL
Course Outline. The Champion Cadet Competition lasts just under 48 hours and is designed to test both physical and mental aptitude, and requires the cadets to compete against each other individually in a range of activities. These include command tasks, weapon handling, map and compass skills (including night navigation), foot drill, first aid, logical problem solving, Cadet Fitness test and a comprehensive test of the entire ACF Army Proficiency Certificate syllabus, finishing the weekend with a panel interview.
Throughout the competition assessors are looking for signs of leadership, teamwork, self-discipline and unselfishness. The winner of the competition is the cadet deemed by the selection committee to be the year’s most inspiring example of an ACF Master Cadet. The winning cadet is invited back to CTC Frimley Park in October where he or she is presented with the Claire Shore trophy, which their ACF County holds for a year.
Eligibility. The course is open to ACF cadets only. The cadet must have achieved Master Cadet status and have been selected by the County Commandant as the representative for that County. There is strictly 1 place per county, and numerous bids must be prioritised in advance.
