Army Cadet Force

The ACF is a national, voluntary youth organisation that is sponsored by the British Army but not part of it. Typically adult volunteers volunteer for one or two evenings a week at a local detachment and attend occasional weekends. Beyond that it is up to each volunteer how much time they want to give. Help is always welcomed on the annual camps (one or two weeks during the school summer holidays) and many consider this the highlight of the ACF year.
