1. The Cadet Code of Conduct applies to all cadets in the Sea, Army and Air Cadet Program.
2. The Cadets and Junior Canadian Rangers Group (CJCR Gp) is committed to providing an environment of mutual respect, dignity, and inclusion, where Cadets and adult leaders feel welcomed and have opportunities to contribute and achieve their full potential. To achieve this culture, we must be vigilant and ensure that cadet activities are free from all forms of discrimination, abuse, inappropriate conduct, and damaging behaviour. Your personal conduct while participating in the Cadet Program and during all related communications and activities must support and reinforce this culture.
3. As you progress through the program you will learn regulations, policies, directives, orders, and instructions that provide direction and guidance regarding expected behaviours and unwanted, harmful
behaviours. These are founded in Canadian and CJCR Gp ethics and values, with respecting the dignity of all persons as the primary required behaviour. As a cadet, you must act in ways that match these expected behaviours and those highlighted in this Code of Conduct.
4. The Cadet Code of Conduct has been developed to provide an opportunity for you to:
a. review and discuss key behaviours expected of you as a cadet;
b. confirm your understanding of your responsibility to continue to learn and follow laws of Canada and CJCR Gp directives;
c. confirm that you agree to behave in ways that align with the values of the CJCR Gp and as demonstrated in the Cadet Code of Conduct; and
d. discuss possible outcomes that result from adhering to or not adhering to the Cadet Code of Conduct.
