Basic Cadet Training (BCT)  Basic Cadet Training is physically and mentally demanding, with heavy emphasis on personal accountability and teamwork.  Each Cadet Recruit is assigned to a platoon of 18-40 Recruits lead by a Cadet Troop Handler and trained by a qualified Drill Sergeant.  Recruits will learn military drill and ceremonies, marksmanship, martial arts and much more.  Upon completion of Basic Cadet Training, you will earn the title "Army Cadet," at a formal graduation. Basic Cadet Training is attended by all during their first summer, and is the foundation on which the other programs are built upon.

BLC provides advanced orientation in basic leadership, troop leading procedures, risk assessment, land navigation and field training, marksmanship, self-defense and team-building activities.
