The Royal Canadian Army Cadets (RCAC) is a Canadian national youth program sponsored by the Canadian Forces and the civilian Army Cadet League of Canada. Under the authority of the National Defence Act the program is administered by the Canadian Forces and funded through the Department of National Defence.

Army cadets develop abilities in: - Use of map and compass - GPS technology - Orienteering - First-aid - Camping and survival skills - Canoeing - Abseiling - Trekking - Mountain biking As they get more experienced, some will be selected for parachuting, white-water rafting and glacier climbing. They will also learn to become outdoor leaders. Army Cadets get involved in ceremonial military events and citizenship activities that allow them to connect to their Canadian heritage. They develop a great sense of pride and discipline through their involvement in a hierarchical system that allows them to hone their leadership skills as they grow older and they learn to care for younger cadets. In addition to their specialty training, Army Cadets may become involved in other exciting activities like: - Competitive Olympic-style marksmanship and biathlon - Sports competitions - Music training and competitions - Cultural outings - Volunteer community support Canada represents the best playground for teenagers interested in the outdoors.
