STRENGTHENING 
COMMUNITY

We are a community based Not For Profit cadet unit for young men and women aged between 11 and 17 years. The unit has an ethos of SERVE LEARN REMEMBER and is based on a military structure, values and disciplines. We are a volunteer organisation dedicated to providing a safe, fun yet challenging environment for today’s youth.

Our lessons teach the cadets self reliance and endurance through participation. It helps to build the confidence and self-esteem of the individual, while developing teamwork through necessity whilst in the field. We encourage and foster the potential of all children without prejudice, and promote the value of community service.

The unit has been operating within the community since 1998, and has won several awards for its work with children and the community. Most of our training staff are ex-military from the Australian Defence Force, so our training is based on several skill sets including the following:

Basic field craft

Fieldcraft is the techniques involved in living, traveling, or making military observations in the field and the methods used to do so.

Survival

Survival training lessons are designed to teach cadets how to survive for periods of up to seven days. Periods of instruction are to assist cadets in the very basics on survival. 

Navigation

As a cadet, you need to be proficient at map reading and navigation is an important skill. Cadets are taught how to use map craft, protractors and compasses to navigate out in the field.

Life skills

While on bivouacs, cadets have the opportunity to incorporate problem solving and decision making; self-control and resilience are a big part of being a cadet.
