The Strathroy Army Cadet Program

---

# 11 Strathroy Royal Canadian Army Cadet Corps is open to all Strathroy area youth aged 12 to 18 that are Canadian citizens or are authorized to reside in Canada.  Programs are inclusive and celebrate the rich diversity within Canadian society.

Our training, direction, decision making, and behaviour are guided by ethics and values of the Canadian military. Values include loyalty, integrity, courage, inclusion, excellence and accountability. Cadets embrace and embody these values.

Our program offers cadets opportunities to develop skills and knowledge that enable them to positively contribute as leaders in Canadian society, instill a lifelong appreciation of health and fitness, and support successful transitions to adulthood.

Our program offers activities and events that are challenging and safe. Cadets and their parents/guardians can be confident that the adults leading the program are focused on the development of youth and invested in their health and welfare.

Whether cadets stay with the program for many years or for just a few weeks, it is hoped that their experiences were impactful, educational and are regarded (or remembered) as positive.

Cadets are supervised, administered, and trained by Cadet Instructor Cadre officers and non-commissioned members of a sub-component of the Reserve Force of the Canadian Armed Forces who, by the terms of their enrolment or transfer, have undertaken as their primary duty the safety, supervision, administration, and training of Cadets.  Assisting the CIC are a team of dedicated and competent Civilian Instructors and Civilian Volunteers who have all been vetted through a Canadian Criminal Record Check.
