Cadets will also be required to attend other training activities before the July 5th Junior Guard Program start date and after August 9th. In order to apply for the Cadet program candidates must be 16 or 17 years of age by July 1, 2006. Candidates must have prior Junior Guard experience and have above average swimming skills.
