Cadet members learn many useful skills
Yes sir!
By Lisa Boonstoppel-Pot
Army cadets not only teaches
good citizenship and leadership, it
can give members a real advantage
if they choose to join the Canadian
Armed Forces.
Local youth who've joined cadets
and risen through the ranks have
proven that.
Stuart Parker, a former Com
manding Officer with the cadets
and now a Captain says local cadets
have gone on to be in logistics, sig
nals and weapons technology in the
service support. Yet another has
become the top candidate in the
Cadet Instructors List.
"The valuable skills learned in
cadets assists people going into the
Canadian Armed Forces," says
Capt. Parker.
However, cadets doesn't specifi
cally train members for the forces.
Capt. Parker says the objective of
cadets is to "develop in youth the
attributes of good citizenship and
leadership, to promote physical fit
ness and stimulate an interest in the
activities of the Canadian forces."
That's done by weekly training
sessions at the Brussels Legion
where members follow the basic
military tradition of wearing a uni
form and learning drill. They also
learn orienteering, first aid, small
arms training, basic search and res
cue, camping, public speaking and
sports.
Moreover, cadets can go to sum
mer camp where citizenship and
leadership is the focus and they get
more advanced training.
Learning instructional techniques
is a major part of the curriculum
and that's why cadets seem to do so
well if they join the Canadian
Forces, said Capt. Parker.
To join, you must be between the
ages of 12 and 18. Cadets must
leave by their 19th birthday.
As the cadets learn and are test
ed, they advance to new levels, of
which there are four.
Capt. Parker says cadets is a
worthwhile program to join
because "members learn useful
skills, increase their self-confi
dence; it teaches them a certain
amount of discipline and is a chal
lenge."

A Brussels cadet salutes his superior at an annual
inspection. Cadets, though rewarding on its own, can also
lead to a successful career in the Canadian Armed Forces.
The annual Scout Jamboree is a highlight for young boys
involved in the Scouting movement. Various fundraising
efforts are mounted to raise money to get to the jamboree,
which is in Alberta this year, like the sale of pumpkins in
October.
