Logan City Community Cadets Inc was formed in 1998 by a group of parents who saw a need in the local community for a well organised, disciplined and flexible cadet unit catering for young men and women between the ages of 11 – 17. We are very proud to provide Catafalque Parties for the Greenbank Services Club, Logan Village RSL and VV & VMC Dawn Services each ANZAC Day, as well as other commemorations during the year.  We also support other Not-For-Profit groups such as Legacy and Wounded Heroes during the year, raising funds for Veterans and their families.

The LCCC is not affiliated with the Australian Defence Force Cadets, and is a self-funded Incorporated Not-For-Profit association.  All of the Uniformed Staff and Parent Support Group members are volunteers, many of whom have, or have had, children join at some point in the past. 

The Cadets

Based on their abilities and performance, successful cadets may be promoted in rank and given the responsibility to be in command of groups of cadets from a section of 10 cadets up to company strength of 60 cadets or more.

Promotion to positions of authority is based solely on merit, giving the child a sense of achievement, encouraging self confidence within themselves and their team, whilst demanding integrity, efficiency, dependability and self discipline both inside and outside of cadets. These cadets are required to plan, study and conduct both theory and practical lessons in the lecture room and in the field. They are trained to lead a team of cadets on field activities involving navigation, patrolling, selection and development of a bivouac site, bush/field skills, mock first aid emergencies and field cooking to name a few. All activities are overseen by a uniformed staff member.

The Staff

Most of the Uniformed Staff members have either served in the Australian Defence Force, or have been enlisted as a Cadet in the Unit before re-enlisting as a staff member upon turning 18.

Bringing with them many years of experience, the staff are able to teach cadets everything they need to learn to become a successful, independent cadet who can be proud of their achievements, and themselves.
