Cadets are not members of the Canadian Forces, nor are they expected to join the military. Cadets is a great way for youth to learn more about Canada, make new friends and develop life skills that will enable them to succeed no matter what career they choose.

General Rick Hillier (retired) is a former Chief of the Defence Staff for Canadian Forces – the Canadian Forces’ highest rank.
In his latest book, Leadership: 50 Points of Wisdom for Today's Leaders, he points out the long-lasting positive impact the Cadet Program has on Canadian youth (pages 11-12):
"In Canada, the Army, Navy and Air Cadet Leagues of Canada are probably our best Canadian programs for producing responsible Canadian citizens among young boys and girls aged twelve to nineteen. As a commanding officer of the Royal Canadian Dragoons Army Cadet Corps in Lahr, West Germany, in 1983 and 1984, I have a soft spot for this powerful nation-wide citizenship program. It is regrettable that in the 1970s, at the height of a local flush of anti-militarism in Canada, we removed it from school programs.
The cadet program emphasizes leadership. It teaches and puts into practice the same principles that major corporate, military and international leaders learn at Harvard University, in graduate programs across our own country, in military schools or even from the school of hard knocks. The thirteen-year-old girl thinking about what she wants to have her section of six other cadets achieve during a weekend training event at a local park works through the same strategizing and planning that the other leaders must, then communicate her plan and encourages or inspires others with her guidance and supervision to implement it. Our youngest son, Steven, now fully engaged in his adult life, swears to its importance in his initial success in the private sector. Confidence, public speaking, mental organization, practical leadership, planning under stress and knowing how to handle deviances from the plan are attributes and skills not taught, let alone practised, in many places, but the cadet league is one place where they are.
My point is simple. If you are young, get involved. Volunteer and get out front to organize, contribute and get things done. If possible, join the cadets. "
