The Adventure Training Award is a series of field activities that are undertaken by senior cadet of the Australia Army Cadets.  The Adventure Training Award is designed as the most physically challenging and demanding set of activities in which Cadets can participate during their years in the Australian Army Cadets.

Since 2009 the Adventure Training Award has been conducted as a national event at the Buckland Training Area, Tasmania. Dates are available to staff on the CadetNet Calendar.

The reward, should the cadets successfully complete the six day assessment, will be the prized “boomerang and torch” Adventure Training Award badge, the highest accolade they can wear on their uniform.  Some of the challenges that will be faced by these cadets include; watermanship, roping, survival and navigating by day and night in the Tasmanian wilderness.
