Mr. Keith Simpson: To ask the Secretary of State for Defence if he will make a statement on the training objectives of each of the cadet forces. [184156] Mr. Caplin :[holding answer 15 July 2004]: The training objectives of each of the cadet forces are broadly similar, differing only to reflect the traditions and ethos of the parent Service. They support the key themes of the Government youth policies by providing training aimed at capacity building, maximising personal potential and social inclusion. Training is undertaken by cadets under two broad headings: military training and adventurous training in the approximate proportions of 60 per cent. and 40 per cent. respectively. The military training functions are as follows: a. To provide the opportunity for young people to exercise responsibility and leadership, and to learn from the Services how they can be best developed. b. To impart a basic knowledge and understanding of the role of the armed forces. c. To encourage those who have an interest in the Services to be aware of the career opportunities the armed forces have to offer. The adventurous training includes activities that are arduous and include an element of risk to test the courage and endurance of cadets and develop their qualities of character. The military training syllabi contain such topics as turnout and drill, skill at arms, shooting, map and compass, fieldcraft, and first aid. Rock climbing, mountain walking, canoeing, caving, offshore sailing, sub aqua diving and parachuting are just some of the approved adventurous training activities undertaken by cadets with the view to making them better citizens.
