    Celebrating 150 years of the Cadets 1 8 6 0 - 2 0 1 0 Greater London Reserve Forces and Cadets Association Contents 1 Foreword 2 A proud history 6 Sea Cadet Corps 10 Army Cadet Force 14 Air Training Corps 18 Combined Cadet Force 20 Cadet150 Events 21 Contacts Above: The ‘Unity Band’, comprising Sea, Army and Air Cadets plus other youth organisations, on parade in London for Remembrance Sunday, November 2008. Foreword Celebrating 150 years of the Cadets The Cadet Forces have, not unnaturally, come a long way from their 1860s origins. They have evolved into unique voluntary youth organisations, offering young people opportunities to develop themselves, to try new adventures and activities, and to learn key lessons in citizenship and the importance of society. But their links to the Armed Forces are as strong as ever. In many areas of the country they are the only face of the Services in the community. They take pride in the values and ethos of the Armed Forces and the lessons of good citizenship and responsibilities these bring. Their essential links with the Reserve Forces’ and Cadets’ Associations, which help administer and support them, are equally strong. None of this would be possible without the Adult Volunteers, whose commitment, leadership and example underpin the development and success of the Cadet Movement. Their reward Air Chief Marshal Sir Jock Stirrup, is to see the cadets change for the better as they are given a Chief of the Defence Staff head-start in life, and as they develop links with the community in which they live.

  • Youth Engagement Review: Final Report by Brigadier James Plastow CBE
    Youth Engagement Review: Final Report by Brigadier James Plastow CBE December 2011 Youth Engagement Review: Final Report by Brigadier James Plastow CBE CADE D T E N F I O B R C M E O C December 2011 Contents Executive Summary Main Report Annex A – Review Terms of Reference Annex B – Consultation List Annex C – Past Studies Annex D – Current Youth Engagement Activity Scale of Effort Annex E – Responsibilities for Activity and Outcomes Annex F – Service Outreach Programmes Annex G – Link between Activity and Outcomes Annex H – Resources and Costs Annex I – Cadet Force Strengths and Weaknesses Annex J – Cadet Force Skills Framework Annex K – Higher Level Policy Annex L – Extract of Recommendations DEFENCE YOUTH ENGAGEMENT REVIEW EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Background 1. The three Services each run or part fund very comprehensive external engagement operations with children and young people in schools and communities. This external engagement should meet two clear Defence outcomes: An awareness of the Armed Forces’ role in the world and the quality of its work and people, in order to ensure the continued support of the population; and recruitment of the young men and women that are key to future sustainment and success. However a fair proportion of Defence’s current youth engagement activity (principally the cadet forces), whilst contributing to awareness and recruitment ends, also meets much wider personal and social development needs. Youth development programmes are in high demand at the moment as the Government and devolved administrations explore cross‐government1 approaches to improving the outlook of young people. The Defence sponsored Cadet forces2 run well established, comprehensive and highly successful youth development programmes involving around 140,000 young people, and the sServices also run a number of bespoke youth development schemes (Service outreach3).
