That video is so incredibly trippy that it’s difficult to actually tell.
It’s the visual equivalent of mid 2000s Drum and Bass: you don’t know what to focus on, everything’s a blur, and before you can adjust it’s changed.

I think they are strictly speaking meant to wear hi vis during fieldcraft exercises so they can be seen in an emergency.
That particular discussion is here before peep wade in 
Depends on what the training area standing orders require.
SPTA only requires for live, where as blank is not.

Was a little tongue cheek comment but in the thread I link to @bob1 says the same thing about three posts later 
Back in the day it was always white mine tape around the helmet elastics (but, as stated, that was for stage 5 field firing).
There is an ACP 50 rewrite happening (has been for about 3 years) and I’ve just submitted my update to be approved for photos with weapons. Can’t share content but we should be getting more inline with the other cadet forces if my update is approved.

“But there’s no capacity” as we keep being told, whist seeing other people use that capacity…

No capacity for Cadet Parachuting at Weston-on-the-Green, which may well be true.
I think they also mean there is no capacity to do the assurance.

I’ve never been on a training area that mandated high vis for safety supervisors with blank ammunition.

If you want something for Air cadet media to aim for it should be the Australian air cadet standard. Their social media (corps level) is miles beyond the UK counterparts. Just have a look at their instagram and tell me it isn’t catchy for aspiring cadets.

Today is the turn of the Scouts > How the Scouts became this year's most in-demand children's club some selected extracts below.
For the first time in its history, the waiting list to take part in making campfires, tying knots and reading maps, stands at more than 100,000 – or 107,000 to be exact. Some 200 new clubs have been set up in the last year, with 83 of these located in Britain’s most deprived areas while its summer events lauded for their inventiveness and affordability – a week’s camping typically costs £325 – sold out months ago.
“Even going back just eight years, the waiting list was half this,” says Scouting UK’s spokesperson Simon Carter, who calls their current popularity unprecedented. “In the past year, we’ve acquired 2,200 new parent volunteers, but still the waiting list goes up. We constantly need new volunteers. It’s the only thing holding us back.”
Then there’s the thorny issue of neurodiversity: where mainstream schools are struggling to cope with rising numbers of children diagnosed with autism and ADHD. The Scouts, however – which pitches itself as the opposite of a classroom environment – is not suffering. “We don’t teach in classrooms,” Carter adds. “We teach by doing in real life. Put up a tent in the rain, and they will learn it’s quicker if you work as a team. We also give lots of training to our volunteers on neurodiversity.
“We find children’s time is so programmed by school and parents but we just let them hang out with their mates and breathe. They love their midnight feasts and toasting marshmallows, but they also love just chatting when it’s dark. They open up in that space.”

Great post on Twitter from LNR ACF (which sounds like a train company)
