    Canadian Cadet Organizations Ombudsman National Defence and Défense nationale et Canadian Armed Forces Forces armées canadiennes What is the Cadet Program? The Cadet Program1 is a national, community-based program that is funded by the Department of National Defence in partnership with three civilian organizations: the Navy League of Canada, Army Cadet League of Canada and Air Cadet League of Canada. One of Canada’s oldest youth programs, it dates back to 1862, and encompasses the following: • The Royal Canadian Sea Cadets • The Royal Canadian Army Cadets • The Royal Canadian Air Cadets The aim of the Cadet Program is to develop in youth the attributes of good citizenship and leadership, promote physical fitness and stimulate an interest of youth in the sea, army and air activities of the Canadian Armed Forces.2 The Department of National Defence and the Canadian Armed Forces assume costs (including uniforms and travel) for cadets. The Cadet Leagues require local community support to meet obligations that include accommodations, training aids, equipment, and program enhancements not otherwise provided. Parents and cadets are expected to participate in and contribute to fundraising as required by the League’s local sponsoring organization. Who are the Cadets? Legal residents of Canada, aged 12 to 18, are eligible to join the Cadets. It is important to note that cadets are NOT members of the Canadian Armed Forces, nor are they expected to join the military. The program focuses on transferrable life skills that can be used in any career path a cadet may decide to pursue. In 2017, there were 53,203 Cadets3 across Canada, within 1,113 Cadet Corps and Squadrons:4 Total Number of Sea Cadets: 7,825 Total Number of Army Cadets: 18,376 Total Number of Air Cadets: 27,002 Although girls were not eligible to join Cadets until 1975, they now represent 31.9 percent of all Cadets in Canada.5 The highest participation of girls is within the Sea Cadets with 40.2 percent.

  • 2824 Royal Canadian Army Cadets (Cadet Organization Police School)
    2824 ROYAL CANADIAN ARMY CADETS (CADET ORGANIZATION POLICE SCHOOL) Locally Developed Training Program Green Star Introduction Your decision to become a member of the Royal Canadian Army Cadets is a big one. The cadet program is a national program, from the Atlantic to the Pacific. Through your involvement in cadets locally, and during the summer at our regional summer camps, you will experience new adventures and meet new friends. The friendship between those who have shared the challenge of cadet training is a strong one, and is one that becomes a lifelong bond. The leadership skills and self- discipline you learn from cadets give you a qualification that will allow you to stand out from the crowd. However, in order to gain the benefits available to you from the cadet system, you have to be dedicated and disciplined, and strive to reach a level of personal excellence. This training program will introduce you to the basic lessons learned in the green star year. The best way to gain this knowledge is to come out and get hands on experience at the company level and on unit exercises. The Cadet Program The Royal Canadian Army Cadets are the oldest youth organization in Canada. We trace our origin to the year 1862, five years before confederation, when "associations for drill and musketry" were formed in schools in response to Fenian raids. In those days drill was not just a parade square exercise but the method of manoeuvring troops on the battlefield. In 1887 the government began issuing arms and equipment to schools that agreed to form drill associations, now called "Cadet Corps".
