Message from the Commandant, Colonel Steve Davies:

"The Army Cadet Force - come to the best place to 'have a go' and experience some of the real excitement of Army life.

We will train you to live under field conditions, participate in military style exercises, handle weapons safely, and dress and march like a soldier! We welcome boys and girls from 12 (and in year 8 at school) to 18 years old.

We have over 40 Detachments located around our Counties, each wearing the cap badge of a local military unit. You will parade at your Detachment weekly, and get the chance to go on weekend exercises, as well as Annual Camp each Summer. Cadets train in military skills, gaining 'Star' passes, and enjoying the opportunity for promotion along the way.

And in addition to this, we take you on adventurous training expeditions - canoeing, sailing, abseiling and much more, as well as Community projects and the Duke of Edinburgh's Award Scheme.

There is even the chance to travel the world - each year cadets travel to Canada on an exchange programme - we will help you get the most out of life.

And all this is done whilst you are under the care of Officers and Adult Instructors who are highly trained and skilled in their roles.
