Cadets are young people, like you, who usually meet once a week after school at their Army unit, or on weekends. Our school based units do their training during school time and/or on weekends. You'll learn basic skills like bush survival, first aid and field craft, and heaps more. Here are just some of the activities you can get to check out:
You can undertake tough adventure training and go bush, win marksmanship awards and qualify for the Duke of Edinburgh Award. As an Army cadet, you'll also get to visit Army camps and attend annual camps and participate in competitions during the school holidays.
"If I get a chance to talk about cadets or the Army, I usually do. Anyone I tell about cadets usually asks what we do, so I tell them the cool stuff, climbing on tanks, reserve weekends, annual camps etc."
"It really makes you proud to be in the Australian Army Cadets, especially when everything you learned shows everyone else that cadets is cool."
