Cadets navigated to seventh place after attending a night exercise with 25 other air cadet squadrons.
During the exercise earlier this month, the team from 1372 Elstree and Borehamwood cadets navigated a 20 km course with challenges at checkpoints along the way.
Led by Sgt Jamie Finch, the team completed the course, returning to the finish line in seventh place.
Cadet instructor Geoff Parker said: “They were a credit to the squadron and to Elstree and Borehamwood with their commitment in getting to the end.
“This is just one of the types of events the cadets undertake, including flying and shooting events.”
The cadets meet on Monday and Thursday evenings at the squadron, based in Rossington Avenue, between 7pm and 9.30pm.
Membership is open to anyone aged between 12 and 17.
