About Cadets
Who we are:
The Christian Cadet Corps is an independent youth ministry organization whose purpose is to provide the local church with a ministry program that will enable them to effectively share Christ’s love with boys from their church and community. Cadets is run by volunteers, with a programme that is created especially for Primary School boys from ages 9 to 14.
At Cadets we aim to teach today youth about God, complete badge work, create crafts, play games, sing songs, make new friends and go on camps and outings.
Founded in 1952 in the U.S.A, the Cadet movement was introduced into Australia in 1964. Since then it has grown to 15 clubs throughout Australia with approx. 180 cadets and 70 counselors.
What we believe:
The basis of the Christian Cadet Corps is the Word of God (the Bible) according to the concepts expressed in the Heidelberg Catechism, the Canons of Dort, and the Belgic confession.
Our Goal:
Luke 2: 52 states that “Jesus grew in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and men.” The goal of the Christian Cadet Corps, based on that verse, is to help boys grow spiritually in all areas of life (devotional, mental, physical and social) by providing Christian men with a uniquely designed structure, program and materials.

2024 Theme
This year’s theme is “Amazing,” based on Joshua 3:5. Throughout this year the kids will be reminded of a few things:
- that God is holy
- we must prepare ourselves if we are to be in His presence
- that God has done, is doing, and will do amazing things.
These reminders will help the kids strive to be holy and recognize the many ways in which God blesses them. We challenge you to be an example to your club – look for, find, and share the many amazing things God is doing.
Show your kids that God is amazing as you encourage them to live for Jesus.
