Shadowing and Orientation Events

Informational Sessions for Interested Individuals


The Wisconsin Army Cadets invite you to attend one of two special opportunities to explore our program by shadowing during a training day.

Each session begins with a one-hour overview for youth and their parent/guardian. Parents depart after the overview at 2pm, while youth may choose to stay for the full afternoon to experience the training, meet the Cadets, ask questions, and enjoy and meal.  We will conclude by 6:00 pm.

Enrollment Day

Following these sessions, we will host Enrollment Day on Saturday, April 18, 2026, at the armory. Youth who decide to join will attend from 1:00 pm – 5:00 pm to complete enrollment, get sized for uniforms, and participate in their initial orientation.

Important Note: Cost should never be a barrier to joining. Scholarships are available based on need.
