Take Control!

With almost 49,000 members in more than 1,000 Squadrons the ATC is one of the country's premier youth organizations and the world's largest youth air training organization. The Air Cadets are supported by a volunteer staff of nearly 10,000 plus 5,000 Civilian Committee Members.

Adventure isn't just in your dreams!

What did you do last weekend?

Where could you learn to fly aerobatics, be a glider pilot, go camping, visit military bases, organise events at home and overseas, play sports from local to international level, learn the skills to lead expeditions, go on night exercises, become a target shooting marksman, gain your Duke of Edinburgh Awards, canoe through white water, assist your community, join a band, go caving, parachute, go rock climbing, play sports, sail, ski...? Air cadets across the UK do all these things and more.

This year....

	air cadets will spend over 50,000 hours flying
	20,000 cadets and staff will take part in adventure training activities
	12,000 cadets and staff will go on summer camps in the UK and abroad
	3000 cadets will achieve Duke of Edinburgh Awards
	1000 cadets will qualify for BTEC certificates

The ATC has something for everyone, whatever their ability – as long as you can show commitment. This isn’t just another youth club! Teamwork and social skills learned in the ATC will be of value throughout your life – and you’re sure to make some good friends.

It's your choice. Take control of your life.
