The Lord-Lieutenant's Cadets
The Lord-Lieutenant appoints Cadets to assist in official duties and events. The post of the Lord-Lieutenant's Cadet is held by a young person from one of the three service linked youth movements – Sea Cadets Corps, Army Cadets Force and Air Training Corps.
Lord-Lieutenant’s Cadets are selected by their Cadet Group leaders and the Highland Reserve Forces' and Cadets' Association. They typically have demonstrated outstanding service and contributions to their respective unit and organisation, and hold a rank of Cadet Sergeant (or equivalent) or above.
​
Being appointed as a Lord Lieutenant’s Cadet is a great privilege and a highlight of an individual Cadet’s career. The role includes accompanying the Lord-Lieutenant at high-profile civic and military occasions, such as Armed Forces Day, Remembrance events and Royal Visits, supporting their Lord-Lieutenant and acting as ambassador for their cadet unit and organisation.
Lord Lieutenant’s Cadets are appointed on an annual basis and include representatives from Army Cadet Force, Air Training Corps and Sea Cadets. Cadets are entitled to wear the Lord-Lieutenant’s Cadet badge on the right arm, and are presented with a certificate of appointment.
