British Army Cadet Force

The British Army Cadet Force (ACF) is a voluntary youth organization for individuals aged 12 to 18, aiming to develop skills, leadership, discipline, and confidence through military-style training and activities. It operates independently of the regular army but offers structured programs, including drills, adventure training, and community projects. Cadets learn about teamwork, personal responsibility, and citizenship, often participating in camps and competitions. The ACF promotes physical fitness and personal development while fostering an understanding of military life, encouraging young people to become responsible and motivated citizens.
