CORPS 88 ARMY CADETS
About Us
Corps 88 Army Cadets is a premier organization for youth 12—18 years of age. The Army Cadet program offers many opportunities for cadets in the areas of physical fitness and team building as well as growth opportunities in the areas of leadership and social responsibility. There is no requirement or expectation that cadets will go on into military service afterwards, but should they choose to do so, they will go with an excellent start in leadership and other valuable skills.
Activities
Cadets are involved in a balance of fun, physical fitness, and class-based instruction, and they can join one or many of the teams at Corps 88. Some of our teams include: band, drill, running, and marksmanship.
There are also a number of “away” activities during the year. Some of these are field exercises where cadets camp and learn outdoor skills over the course of a weekend. Those who participate actively in the cadet program also accumulate attendance points which are put towards an annual retreat. Cadets who go on these excursions always have a great time and look forward to the next trip.

This program prepares cadets to interact comfortably within the community; interact positively with others; exercise sound judgement; accept personal responsibility for actions and choices; deal with interpersonal conflict; and seek assistance from available resources when needed. Feel free to speak with any of the officers for more information. Captain (retired) John McEwen is current the Unit Cadet Conflict Management Advisor.
Community Engagement
We’re active in our community! Corps 88 provides support to a number of other community agencies such as the Rotary Club and the Lions Clubs. Some of our recent activities include: providing assistance with the Salvation Army Christmas hamper program, supporting Big Brothers and Sisters with the annual Soap Box Derby, and supporting the Lions Club at the Cobourg Waterfront Festival. These activities help cadets in their school life as well by providing volunteer hours toward their high school completion requirements.
