Title Image: Join Us

To Join »

Sea Cadets, Army Cadets or Air Cadets.

Step 1: Consult the cadet unit directory to find a cadet group near you. To become a cadet, you must join one of these local groups.

The cadet unit directory is divided by province and then by town/city. Only towns with a local cadet group are listed. Towns may have more than one group.

Step 2: Contact them. For each cadet unit listed in the cadet unit directory, there is information about their meeting location, meeting day and time and how to contact them.

Call the cadet unit if you have questions or show up at the cadet unit during one of the training nights to register.

Step 3: Fill-out the registration forms, have it signed by your parents and bring it with you. You will also need a proof of provincial health coverage and legal residency (Canadian birth certificate, citizenship certificate, etc.)

Sea, Army or Air Cadets?

Remember that there is no obligation for you to join, or to stay once you have joined, but you should at least visit and experience what hundreds of thousands of teenagers have already tried before you.
