🏆 Exercise Mountain Storm 2025 Awarded the Shackleton Award! 🏆

After three years of dedication, teamwork, and sheer determination, Exercise Mountain Storm 2025 has been awarded the Shackleton Award for the most successful, imaginative, and adventurous expedition of the past year in the RAF Air Cadets, supported and chosen by the Royal Geographical Society (with IBG)

Thirty cadets and staff from 22 Squadrons, 6 Wings, and 2 Regions braved the Rocky Mountains of Canada, pushing their limits in leadership, endurance, and resilience. From navigating the breathtaking landscapes of Banff and Jasper National Parks to thrilling adventures like white-water rafting and zip-lining, every participant embraced the challenge and grew from the experience.

This award celebrates not only the cadets and staff who took part but also everyone who supported the expedition behind the scenes. 🌄💪

Here’s to conquering new heights and embracing the storm; Mountain Storm 2025 proves what’s possible when we chase adventure with courage and determination!

Remarkably, this is the third time in four expeditions, through 12 years of hard work, that the Shackleton Award has been won, thanks to the incredible work of some amazing cadets and staff teams. Never let anyone stop your dreams, go for it!
