What is the Army Cadet Force?

The Army Cadet Force is Britain's oldest and best (our opinion) youth organisation. It will be 150 years old next year in 2010. It is Not part of the Army Nor does it recruit for them, but there are more than 40,000 Cadets nationwide, and over 8,000 Leaders, in more than 1,700 Detachments. It's all about young people having fun in a physically and mentally challenging environment.

Our motto is:

"Inspire to Achieve"

WELCOME TO NORTHUMBRIA ACF's COUNTY WEBSITE.
