Cadets in Lancashire

Cadet Logo

Cadets is for anyone aged between 10 and 17 years old. There are 13 Cadet units located in Lancashire.

Cadets take part in an exciting range of activities working towards their Grand Prior Award.

The programme allows Cadets to learn important life skills whilst having fun and making new friends.

To complete the Grand Prior Award cadets can chose from over seventy subjects these include photography, first aid and sport.

In addition to learning life saving skills, cadets can teach first aid to other young people and adults in addition to providing first aid support at public events across the county. In Lancashire these events have recently include:

  • Blackpool Illuminations
  • Summer Carnivals
  • Football matches including Blackburn Rover, Preston North End and Blackpool FC
