From boredom-busting outdoor adventure to confidence-building accreditations, becoming a Cadet can help today’s teenagers to break away from social networking to create a new network of friends, gaining skills, tackling real life challenges and discovering hidden talents and strengths in the process.

Colonel Keith Dowell, Commandant of 2nd (NI) Battalion ACF said: “We pride ourselves on offering ‘serious fun’ with courses, awards and training which will instil in every Cadet a real sense of achievement.”
