star this property answer text <p>The Ministry of Defence sponsored cadet forces are military-themed voluntary youth organisations. The Cadet Forces are not set up as conduits for entry into the Armed Forces – this position is clearly stated in the UK’s commitment to the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child. However, many ex-cadets do go on to join the Regular or Reserve Forces; approximately 40% of officers and 20% of other ranks in the Regular Forces were previously cadets.</p><p> </p><p>The Government is convinced of the benefits of Cadets, not just for the young people who participate but also for society as a whole and it remains committed to supporting the Cadet movement.</p> more like this

Apart from the annual King’s Birthday Parade and the Trooping of the Colour, the UK Armed Forces do not celebrate the Sovereign’s birthdays. However, alongside the rest of the nation, they have traditionally celebrated significant milestones in the Sovereign’s reign; the recent pageants for Her Late Majesty The Queen’s major anniversaries of her accession are examples which have included representatives of Commonwealth Armed Forces.</p>
