We guarantee that you won’t find the incredible combination of adventure, opportunity and fun that Air Cadets offers anywhere else, and with nearly 1,000 units nationwide we’re probably closer than you think. Cadets and adult volunteers all gain the same second-to-none experience where you can make lasting friendships and build upon your confidence, skills and achievements. This section will give you all the facts about getting started in an exciting new direction.

Cadets

If you’ve made it to this page then you’re probably looking for a challenge; something to bring out what you’re really capable of. Well, Air Cadets is where you get to prove it – you may even surprise yourself with what you can achieve.

Volunteers

If you’re aged over 20 you can volunteer. That’s it. No need for military experience or any form of previous training – we’ll take care of that. We’re just looking for suitable, enthusiastic individuals to help our cadets get the most from their time with us.

The benefits of being a part of the RAF Air Cadet are the same for volunteers as for cadets – the opportunity to do lots of exciting activities and develop personal skills and talents.
