ABOUT
Founded on February 28, 1944
2051 19th Alberta Dragoons is a relevant, credible and proactive youth development organization, offering the program of choice for Canada’s youth, preparing them to become the leaders of tomorrow through a set of fun, challenging, well organized, and safe activities.
The Royal Canadian Army Cadets is the oldest youth organization in Canada! We trace our origin to the year 1862, five years before confederation, when “associations for drill and musketry” were formed in schools in response to Fenian raids. In those days, drill was not just a parade square exercise but the method of maneuvering on the battlefield.
​
The Canadian Cadet Organization, which includes Royal Canadian Sea, Army, and Air Cadets, enrolls both males and females and currently enrolled are about 70,000 cadets across Canada of which about 25,000 are army cadets!
