Who can join Army Cadets?
Any Canadian citizen or permanent resident (i.e. landed immigrant) from the ages 12-18 may join. We welcome new cadets throughout the school year.
How much does it cost to join?
There is no direct cost to any youth who wishes to join Army Cadets. Cadets are however, expected to participate in corps fundraising activities from time to time. These initiatives help support optional and extra activities.
The Sunshine Coast Army Cadet Support Association requests that you consider a donation of $60.00 per cadet at the beginning of each training year. Your donation will help cover the per-cadet fee charged by the Army Cadet League of Canada and help our corps provide equipment and opportunities for your cadet(s). The donation is not mandatory for enrollment or participation.
