What Will I Gain?

As an Army cadet, you'll get to explore your full potential, develop confidence, self-discipline, learn a range of skills, make friends and along the way have some serious fun. The skills and experience you learn from Army cadets will stay with you for life.

"When I first joined cadets I was very shy and wouldn't talk much. Now, if you ever get the chance to meet me, I can't be quiet. I'm a lot more self confident about who I am and my strengths and weaknesses. Cadets teaches us how to embrace your stren gths and develop your weaknesses."

"Cadets has given me so much!!!!!!! Such things as friends, leadership skills, communication skills and a First Aid Certificate just to name a few. It is so beneficial to everyone."
