Royal College Cadet Contingent
Ours is the first Cadet Battalion to be formed in a school in Ceylon by Mr. J. B. Cull the Principal of Royal College. During the period of Principal Rev. Marsh, the Cadet Corps was attached to the Ceylon volunteers (Volunteer Gazette 1905) The Hon. John Douglas CMG Lt. Governor in his address to the students of the institution on Prize day in July 1881 congratulated then on their newly organized corps which was considered another step in the advancement of the College. Since then until today our Cadets have not missed a single camp held.
The Present Cadet Contingent of Royal College was started in the year 1970 consisting of 2 Cadet Platoons. Later in 1981 the “Platoon II” continued as the Only Cadet Troop in Royal. The Royal College Cadet Contingent is one of the most outstanding Cadet Troops in the Island.
