Community activities for kids in Queensland (QLD)

Is your kid a budding leader? Then he might be interested in becoming a youth cadet!

A cadet is a trainee to become a volunteer military officer. Cadet trainees learn about military life, physical and mental skills, drills and ceremonies, and proper military etiquette. Cadet training does not require trainees to pursue a military career; but it provides them with skills to become efficient leaders and better citizens.

Let your kids serve the community while serving the Church by thinking and living like Christ!
