NOTICE:
If you are possibly interested in joining the Army later in life or just out for a new challenge, come join the Western Bay of Plenty Cadet Unit. Army Cadets is for both boys and girls at a joining aged of 13 to 16 and you don’t need to have the best fitness either.
To train the youth of tomorrow to be better leaders for the community, by providing them with a purpose, core values, safe disciplined army military and non-military training and giving them opportunities that other organisations cannot provide.
I came up through Cadets looking at Officers that gave up time and effort into making others and me who we are today. Youth are the Future of tomorrow, and I believe we need to look after our future just like someone looked after me.
