Arbroath Division RMVCC

Our Scottish home of Royal Marines Cadet training!

Opened in 2017 as the first VCC unit in Scotland, Arbroath Division is based at RM Condor alongside 45 Commando. The unit provides Scottish young people with access to the same exciting training, adventure and leadership opportunities enjoyed throughout the VCC. From learning navigation and first aid to engaging in competitions, ceremonial parades, and forging new friendships, cadets here experience a world of fun and skill-building.

Develop the Commando Spirit

Royal Marines Cadet Training challenges young people to develop the resilience, confidence and determination that have defined the Royal Marines for generations. Inspired by the Corps' values and ethos, cadets learn to lead, work as a team and overcome challenges while building skills for life.

Cadets take part in a progressive training programme that includes fieldcraft, navigation, leadership, first aid, physical development, drill and ceremonial, adventure training and community engagement. Every activity is designed to build confidence, self-discipline and teamwork in a safe, supportive and rewarding environment.

Training extends beyond the classroom, with opportunities to attend camps, expeditions, field exercises and visits to Royal Marines establishments. Cadets experience the traditions and heritage of the Corps while embracing new challenges and developing lifelong friendships.

Whether tackling an adventure training exercise, competing in Field Gun, taking part in ceremonial events or leading their team through an outdoor challenge, Royal Marines cadets learn the importance of courage, commitment, respect, integrity and selfless service.

Challenge yourself. Lead with confidence. Be Worthy.
