The National launch takes place at Buckingham Palace at midday with Her Majesty The Queen as Patron where she will receive 26 specially selected Cadet Ambassadors, including Cadet Under Officer Rachel Tresman of Surrey ACF. Later that evening the Cadet Ambassadors will join Government Ministers, the Mayor of London, and senior personnel from the Cadet Forces, at a reception at Lancaster House where the Ulysses Trust (an organisation that supports adventurous training expeditions by members of the Reserve Forces and Cadets) will host a reception to launch the ‘Cadet150’ expedition to Lesotho, South Africa. 60 specially selected cadets, including 12 from the South East, will be embarking on this unique expedition to southern Africa during which they will work with orphans and vulnerable children in Lesotho. Dozens more will be challenging themselves on treks and expeditions all over the world including Peru, Nigeria and the Himalayas.
