Default Independent Cadet Forces

I was unaware that there Independent Cadet Forces outside the scope of the MOD.

I came across these the other day (V Force) 'fundraising'.

Hi Cam, apparently so, but with no backing from MOD and also no accountability to the parents, would be interested to know where you came across them. Regards Mark

I came across them packing bags at Sainsbury's, Farnborough. I spoke with the "OC" who gave me some general bumpf.

Why not just stick with Navy, Army or Royal Air Force cadets ?

The Sea Cadets are of course a Charity and not part of the MOD but they do receive assistance. The attached leaflet is wrong in saying that that the SCC is part of the CCF.

Wonder how long until one of these badges turns up on eBay described as a modern ‘genuine’ unofficial UKSF badge... start the clock.
