What is Cadets?

The Calvinist Cadet Corps of North America is a non-denominational Christian youth boys organization.

The Cadet ministry welcomes boys from churches and the surrounding communities and encourages studying the Bible as the guide to life, experiencing the presence of the Lord in His glorious creation, and learning the skills of an outdoorsman that builds a boy’s character.

Cadet clubs meet on a weeknight, either weekly or bi-weekly, in churches and helps boys become more Christlike in all areas of life.

Each meeting includes:

  • Assembling with the entire club for the landmarks,

  • Breaking up into small groups (called “cadres”) for Bible study, working on merit badges, and a time of games or other physical activity.
