The guideposts of the Cadet experience
The Cadet landmarks – motto, verse, code, and pledge – help boys discover how the Lord is at work in their lives. The landmarks are recited during opening exercises of club meetings. Cadets must also understand the meaning of our Cadet emblem and hymn.
Cadet Emblem
The three Cs in the center of the shield have special meaning. Not only do they represent the Calvinist Cadet Corps name, but they also form a cross. This reminds us of God’s Son, Jesus Christ, who died on the cross for our sins.
Cadet Motto
Cadet Code

Cadet Hymn
LIVING FOR JESUS
Living for Jesus a life that is true,
Striving to please Him in all that I do;
Yielding allegiance, glad-hearted and free,
This is the pathway of blessing for me.
O Jesus, Lord and Savior, I give myself to Thee,
For Thou, in Thy atonement, Didst give Thyself for me;
I own no other Master, My heart shall be Thy throne;
My life I give, henceforth to live, O Christ for Thee alone.
Cadet Verse
If you love me, you will keep my commandments - John 14:15
