Cadet Corps’ annual camp kicks off with promise of fortifying bonds, friendships

The Guyana National Cadet Corps (GNCC) Annual Camp 2024 has begun with the opening at the President’s College tarmac, Golden Grove, East Coast Demerara (ECD). The event saw 388 cadets from 38 schools across Guyana’s 10 administrative regions converging for a week-long journey of personal growth and camaraderie.
Under the banner of “Fortifying bonds, creating a better future through collaboration and cultivation of life-long friendships,” this year’s camp promises to be a transformative experience for the young participants.
Lieutenant Colonel Lloyd Souvenir, Commandant of the Guyana National Reserve (GNR), delivered an inspiring opening address, urging the cadets to aspire for excellence in all their endeavors.
“Strive for excellence, stay true to your principles, and uphold the values and standards of the Guyana Defence Force,” Colonel Souvenir emphasised, setting the tone for the week ahead.
The camp itinerary is packed with activities designed to enhance leadership, foster communication skills, and cultivate a spirit of teamwork among the cadets. Over the next seven days, they will engage in a variety of pursuits including academics, drills, camp craft, first aid training, and even firefighting demonstrations.
