Dress Standards
At all times, Cadets are expected to keep their uniforms in the best shape possible to show respect and pride to the organization and the Corps alike. Uniforms are provided free of charge, and every attempt is made to provide it to the Cadet within the first couple of weeks (subject to our supplier, Logistik Unicorp). In some cases, it may take additional time, as items may need to be ordered to size to properly fit the Cadet. Uniforms can also be exchanged free of charge for a different size as the Cadet grows. As such, it is implied that Cadets are responsible for their uniforms.
They must be kept clean and pressed, with boots shined and all badges and rank insignia properly fastened. Uniforms are property of the Cadet Corps and must be returned when the Cadet resigns or graduates from the program.
All Cadets are expected to wear the Royal Canadian Army Cadet (RCAC) uniform, as detailed in the new Cadet and Junior Canadian Rangers (CJCR) Dress Instructions when authorized to do so (see Orders of Dress above).
