History

  1. History image goes here
  2. The Army Cadet Force is one of the oldest youth organisations in the country, dating back to 1859-60.

    Many social reformers, who had the welfare of children at heart, saw the Cadet movement as a means of rescuing boys from the appalling conditions in which so many of them lived. Among the most famous of these pioneers was Miss Octavia Hill. She realised that Cadet training was important for character building and was a valuable instrument in the general upbringing of boys.

    The ACF is now operating at over 50,000 cadets in over 1700 detachments throughout the UK . It has developed it's training to meet modern education criteria and now works alongside the Duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme and CVQO BTEC Awards allowing its members the opportunity to gain additional qualifications.
