Joining the Army Cadets will give you access to a wide range of exciting activities. From expedition training, such as kayaking, mountain biking, river rafting, backpacking and canoeing to military-themed activities including shooting, fieldcraft and skill at arms, as well as training in first aid, you'll get the chance to discover lots of new experiences.
Cadets follow a rank structure that mirrors the Canadian Army, take pride in their drill (marching) and uniform, and carry out the traditions of our affiliated unit, 39 (Victoria) Service Battalion. Cadets have the opportunity to participate in a marksmanship team, drill team, and marching band.
All of the opportunities on offer will help you to develop new skills, build confidence and most importantly, have fun. Our program aims to develop leadership and citizenship, promote physical fitness and healthy lifestyles, and stimulate an interest in the Canadian Armed Forces.
