The Mission of the Canadian Cadet Organizations
The Cadet Program is the largest federally-sponsored youth program in Canada that includes the Royal Canadian Sea, Army and Air Cadets. It is a national program for young Canadians aged 12 to 18 who are interested in participating in a variety of fun, challenging and rewarding activities while learning about the sea, army and air activities of the Canadian Forces.
Cadets are encouraged to become active, responsible members of their communities.
They make valuable contributions to Canadian society on a daily basis in terms of environmental, citizenship and community activities.
Cadets also learn valuable life and work skills such as teamwork, leadership and citizenship.
What else do I need to know?
Viable Alternative - The Cadet Program is funded by the Department of National Defence in partnership with the civilian Navy League, Army Cadet League and Air Cadet League of Canada. The civilian sponsor requires local community support to meet its obligations that include accommodations, training aids and equipment and program enhancements not otherwise provided. Parents and cadets are expected to participate in and contribute to fund raising as required by the League’s local sponsoring element.
Diversity - The Cadet Program is open to all Canadians from the ages of 12 to 18 regardless of income, race, religion, culture or other socioeconomic factors. The Program embraces Canada’s multiculturalism and offers young Canadians opportunities to interact with youth from other cultures.
Canadian Army Cadets are for young adults, male and female between the ages of 12-18, craving exciting outdoor activities and are ready and willing to experience new adventures.
What activities are the Army Cadets involved in?
Army cadets develop abilities in the use of map and compass, GPS technology, orienteering, first-aid, camping and survival skills, canoeing, abseiling, trekking, mountain biking, leadership, instruction, citizenship, outdoor adventure, and much more!
In addition to their specialty training, Army Cadets may become involved in other exciting activities like competitive Olympic-style marksmanship and biathlon, sports competitions, music training and competitions, cultural outings, volunteer community support, etc.
How much does it cost to become an Army Cadet?
Nothing. There is no cost associated with being an Army Cadet (no joining fee, no uniform fee, and no dues). The only thing the corps asks for is that cadets help in fundraising (such as Tag Days).
Why should I become an Army Cadet?
Cadets have been helping develop Canadian youth into leaders since before Confederation. Astronauts, Premiers, Olympians, doctors, engineers, professional actors, major league athletes, and many more have spoken in great details how cadets made a great difference n their life…so why should you join? Because your future is waiting for you!
The Adventure awaits...
