Chivenor Division RMVCC

Growing the next generation of leaders in North Devon!

Formed in 2021, Chivenor Division is one of the newest units within the Volunteer Cadet Corps. Based at RMB Chivenor, home to elements of the Commando Logistic Regiment, the unit was established to provide opportunities for young people across North Devon to access the unique experiences offered by the VCC. Despite its relatively recent formation, the division has already built a strong reputation for enthusiasm, growth and community engagement.

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.
