Kent Army Cadets

Kent Army Cadets offers adventure, skills, and leadership opportunities to young people aged 12 and above. With detachments across the county, cadets experience various training such as fieldcraft exercises, first aid, community engagement, and more—all while making lifelong friends and having fun. Our passionate team of adult volunteers, aged 18+, help guide and inspire cadets while gaining their own skills and qualifications. Whether you’re a young person looking for challenge and growth or an adult wanting to give back, there’s a place for you in the Kent Army Cadets.
