The first National Cadets Week (5-11 October) is dedicated to celebrating everything the cadet movement has to offer.
With around 137,000 cadets and 28,000 adult volunteers currently active in the UK, the week will see units opening their doors, telling their stories and demonstrating the difference cadets make to young people, families and communities. Every unit will bring the week to life in its own way, with activities planned around their usual opening and parade nights.
With a strong focus on first aid training, National Cadets Week will showcase the opportunities available, inspire new cadets and adult volunteers, and demonstrate how cadet experiences help prepare young people for adult life.
National Cadets Week is also an opportunity to say a big ‘thank you’ to the dedicated adult volunteers, who give their time, skills and energy to help young people reach their full potential.
