Joining Up
If are want to join cadets or are trying to recruit new cadets. Then you should know that the minimum age for joining cadets is 12, however if you are in secondary school but not 12 then you might be allowed to come along and take part in lessons but you wouldn't be getting officially trained. This will depend in what the adults at your detachment are like.
