Join as a Cadet

To the join the Air Cadets as a cadet and enjoy the exciting range of activities that young people near you are experiencing you need to be aged between 12 (and in Year 8 at school) and 17 years old.

If you would like to locate your nearest squadron you can contact Durham Northumberland headquarters on 0191 213 1919 or use our Squadrons page by clicking here. If you live outside this area visit the Squadron Locator section of the Air Cadet Website.

Whichever squadron you choose to join you are guaranteed a friendly welcome; it is recommended that you take a parent to the squadron with you when you go and enquire.

All cadets are required to follow a Cadet Code of Conduct which outlines what is and is not considered to be acceptable behaviour in the RAF Air Cadets.  Click here to download a copy of the Cadet Code of Conduct.

After a short induction period you will be issued with a free uniform consisting of your RAF No.2 Service Working Dress uniforms which you will be expected to maintain it in good order.

Please note: cadets are not issued with parade shoes or No.3 Service Dress – Field Clothing (CS95/PCS-MTP) and combat boots from RAF Clothing Stores. These items may be available from Squadrons clothing stores if they have these items in stock but this is in no way guaranteed.
