Cumbria is celebrating National Cadet Week from 5 to 11 October to recognise cadets' dedication and leadership.

Cumbria is celebrating National Cadet Week from 5 to 11 October to recognise the dedication, achievements and positive contributions of cadets throughout the county. The Cumbria Lieutenancy is supporting the week-long event, which aims to highlight the value of cadet organisations in developing young people.

Cadet organisations play a key role in helping young people build confidence, leadership and teamwork skills whilst encouraging a strong sense of community and public service. Throughout the week, the Cumbria Lieutenancy will share stories and successes of cadets from across the county.

Alexander Scott, Lord-Lieutenant of Cumbria, said the week provides 'a wonderful opportunity to recognise the dedication, enthusiasm, and commitment shown by cadets across Cumbria'. He added that cadet organisations offer young people 'invaluable opportunities to develop skills, confidence, and leadership qualities that will benefit them throughout their lives'.

During the week, the Cumbria Lieutenancy will introduce the newly appointed Lord-Lieutenant's Cadets for 2026/27. These cadets are selected for their commitment, leadership and exemplary service, and they support the Lord-Lieutenant at ceremonial and civic events throughout the year.

The week will also highlight the important role cadets play at events such as investitures, remembrance services, community celebrations and royal visits. Scott said he was 'continually impressed' by the young people he meets through the cadet movement, and that their 'commitment, professionalism, and community spirit are a credit to themselves, their organisations, and the county'.
