What is the purpose of army cadets?

The purpose is to train 11-18 year olds for the Army. It kinda gets ya ready for it coz they teach ya everything yu need to know. && it helps ya get into the Army aswell coz if yu've been to Army Cadets thn ur more likely to get into the Army coz yu have already had training. But yu dont ave to actually go into the Army, coz Cadets is just a club sorta thing i suppose. Ive been going for nearly 7-8 months && i might be getting me Lance Corporal in a couple months =].

well at my cadets the age is 12 to 18 and 9 months but i think it varies basicly like kat said its a place to kinda get you in the mind set for joining the army. obviously you dont have to join the army as cadets is like a social club but with training and kat good luck on your lance ive had mine for about 4 months and am a 2 star what county are you in?
