The Guyana National Cadet Corps (GNCC) Annual Camp 2024 officially opened with a simple yet significant ceremony at President’s College Tarmac, Golden Grove, East Coast Demerara.
This year, 388 Cadets from 38 schools across Guyana’s ten (10) administrative regions are gathered for a week of growth and camaraderie under the theme “Fortifying bonds, creating a better future through collaboration and cultivation of life-long friendships”.

In his opening remarks, Lieutenant Colonel Lloyd Souvenir, Commandant of the Guyana National Reserve (GNR), encouraged the cadets to “strive for excellence, stay true to your principles, and uphold the values and standards of the Guyana Defence Force.”

Over the next seven days, the cadets will participate in activities to boost their leadership and communication skills. They will also engage in academics, drills, camp craft, first aid, firefighting demonstrations, and more.
