Lympstone Division RMVCC

Where Royal Marines recruits train, cadets learn to Be Worthy!

Established at Commando Training Centre Royal Marines, Lympstone Division offers cadets the opportunity to train alongside the home of Royal Marines recruit training. The unit was created to extend the benefits of the Royal Marines Cadet experience to young people in East Devon and beyond. Drawing inspiration from the Commando ethos, cadets are encouraged to challenge themselves, develop resilience and strive to be worthy of the Corps' traditions.

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.
