About Kent Army Cadet Force (Kacf)
National Youth Organisation
Kent Army Cadet Force (Kacf) Description
THE ARMY CADET FORCE (ACF) is one of the UK’s oldest, largest and most successful youth organisations, Consisting of more than 47, 000 cadets in around 1, 700 local detachments across the country, the ACF helps young people between the ages of 12 and 18 develop both personally and physically by providing a range of opportunities, challenges and activities, We have a long and proud history of preparing youngsters for all walks of life and encouraging an active involvement in local communities.
The ACF is not a recruiting tool for the Armed Forces but seeks to promote a sense of understanding of what the Armed Forces' roles and responsibilities are.
Cadets of all abilities and backgrounds that are able to access the majority of our activities are welcome.
We develop young people physically and mentally, improving self-confidence, teamwork, friendship and leadership through a wide diversity of fun, exciting and adventurous opportunities.
We also aim to develop a sense of community in our cadets.

Took my son down yesterday and he loved it he can’t wait till Monday to sign up
The army cadet force had changed my life for the better
Many thanks to all involved for the last 2 weeks at Knook Camp. Adam has had a fantastic time.x
I've only been a cadet for a few months and I've loved it from the start, Kent ACF is a good start to a military career or even if you just want a public service GCSE
I've been in cadets, for just under 5 years, and what an amazing experience it has been, I've made so many friends along the way, and have had many great memories made, I recently just did my 3* and it was the best time of my life!! I recommend cadets to everyone you learn so much.
I was a Lydd Army Cadet , I loved it , every youth should apply it could even be a stepping stone to a military career :-) Tried encouraging all my own children but they didn't :-(
Great service for our youth. Very well ran and very professional
Site is ok but would like to know how we can post Photos of work that the cadets do in real time.
