The Army Cadet program is open to all young people between the ages of 12 and 18.
The 1849 Lorne Scots Army Cadet Corps meets every Wednesday night (6:30pm to 9:15pm) from September to June, at Orangeville District High School (ODSS) located at 22 Faulkner St, Orangeville, Ontario. We also offer numerous activities on weekends throughout the program year.
New cadets and their parents are welcome to visit any Wednesday from the first Wednesday after Labour Day until the first Wednesday of June, and see first hand what our program has to offer.

Exciting Opportunities for Adults
1849 can only offer our exciting and challenging program because of the work by its core of dedicated Officers, Staff, and Support Committee.
We can offer hardworking and motivated adults the opportunity to become part of an exciting and growing group in Orangeville. We can make good use of your skills and energy. You can be heavily involved, or contribute occasionally! There are opportunities to become CIC Officers, Civilian Instructors (CI), Civilian Volunteers (CV), and to participate in the Support Committee. Each position has its own challenges and rewards, and is certain to offer activities not likely found in other areas of your life.
