Adventurous Training (AT) is a valuable addition to formal military training, helping support the values and standards of the Military. When properly conducted it enhances an individual's future ability to withstand the rigours of operations and rapid deployments.

The aim of Military AT is to develop, through authorised challenging pursuits and within an outdoor environment, leadership and the qualities necessary to enhance the performance of military personnel during peace and war.

The Squadron currently has active clubs in the activities shown below and each Club organises at least one major expedition a year.
