15 Oct National Cadet Week 2026

Last week was the first ever National Cadet Week.

We are proud to support Shropshire Army Cadet Force and a pleased to share this text with you from their Facebook page:

National Cadet Week – Celebrating Shropshire Army Cadet Force!
This National Cadet Week, we’re celebrating the incredible young people and dedicated adult volunteers who make Shropshire Army Cadet Force what it is today.
Being an Army Cadet is about so much more than learning military skills. It’s about building confidence, developing leadership, learning teamwork, challenging yourself and making friendships that can last a lifetime.
From fieldcraft, navigation and first aid to adventurous training, music, sport and community events, our cadets have opportunities to learn new skills, discover their potential and achieve things they might never have thought possible.
Behind every cadet is a team of committed adult volunteers who give up their own time to support, encourage and inspire the next generation. Their dedication helps create an environment where young people can grow, develop resilience and become confident, responsible members of their communities.
Across Shropshire, our detachments provide a place for young people to challenge themselves, try something new and be part of something bigger. Every parade night, training weekend and camp is another opportunity to learn, grow and create lasting memories.
This National Cadet Week, we say a huge thank you to our cadets, adult volunteers, instructors, families and supporters. Your commitment and enthusiasm help make Shropshire ACF the organisation it is today.
Interested in becoming a cadet or volunteering with us? There’s a place for you in Shropshire Army Cadet Force.

Come along, discover what we do and be part of the adventure!
