The Army Cadet Force is a National Voluntary Youth Organisation. It is sponsored by the Army and provides challenging military, adventurous and community activities. Its aim is to inspire young people to achieve success in life with a spirit of service to the Queen, their country and their local community, and to develop in them the qualities required of a good citizen. Cadets can take part in the Duke of Edinburgh's Award Scheme alongside normal training.

Cadets are encouraged to take part in community events and attend courses organised by the Regular Army. Senior cadets get the chance to go on a sponsored visit to the British Army of the Rhine.

One of the units is the home of the Herts ACF County Band which is trained to a very high standard and has assisted in many civic functions within the County.

Parent organisation: Hertfordshire Army Cadet Force. County HQ.
