| A POSITIVE ATTITUDE
The Army Cadets Force breeds confidence. We
encourage you to develop your one-on-one interpersonal skills
by putting you through a structured, demanding and rewarding
programme.
The role of the Army Cadet Force (ACF) is to inspire young
people to achieve success with a spirit of service to the
Queen, country and their local community, and to develop the
qualities of good citizenship, responsibility and leadership.
GET OUT WHAT YOU PUT IN
But while you’re off enjoying yourself, you’re
also absorbing. Constantly soaking up essential experience
of leadership and teamwork. Problem solving. Communications.
Decision-making. Assertiveness. Resilience. Goal setting.
You’ll mop-up.
Today there are more then 40,000 cadets
spread across the country. Of that 40,000 about 10,000 are
girls. As well as having 40,000 cadets there are also 7,000
adult instructors trained by the British Army. The
ACF is not part of the Army, as many people
think, albeit partly funded by the Ministry of Defence.
While receiving a lot of valuable and essential training
from the military, the ACF is staffed and administered by
civilian RFCA employees, not Regular Army personnel.
As part of their training cadets take part in many activities
including Fieldcraft, Skill at Arms, Map and Compass, First
Aid, Drill and Survival Skills.As part of their training cadets
