Cadets are taught a variety of subjects that include citizenship, physical fitness, healthy living, drill, marksmanship, map and compass, outdoor survival, eco-friendly camping and military history and traditions.
Community Service & Social Responsibility
A focus of the Canadian Cadet Movement is community involvement and developing the cadets to be good citizens.
All cadets who participate can earn community service hours for school, as well as the satisfaction of knowing they have helped others.
Cadets Mission
The aim of the Cadet Program is to develop in youth the attributes of good citizenship and leadership, promote physical fitness and stimulate the interest of youth in the sea, land, and air activities of the Canadian Forces.
Leadership
The Cadet Program encourages youth to be fair and ethical leaders. Cadets learn to take responsibility for their actions and motivate their peers to follow their example.
Physical Fitness
Cadets develop an understanding of the benefits of a healthy lifestyle. Participation in fitness activities results in a positive attitude that enables cadets to take on new challenges.
Citizenship
The development of responsible and caring citizens is one of the most important aspects of the Cadet Program. Throughout the year, cadets participate in citizenship activities in cities and towns across Canada.
