Do you mean headdress & titles, their trade & qualification badges or both?

If the former, my forum albums (in the earlier link) and website covers most of the known ones for Essex cadet units. Very few cloth headdress badges were produced. If you wanted any more info on those units I'm happy to try to help (I have been writing up notes with the thought that I might one day publish them.)

I'm not aware of any published material for the latter, though there may well be.

I wish there was one covering there cap badges currently being worn, especially as there seems to be 500 new cadet units formed in the last 5 years

For my own collection I have the badges to the Wiltshire A C F -23 detachments and the Welsh A C F 141 detachments currently being worn These were in my album section for sometime ,now deleted
e.g WELSH - Q D G -MOLD ,PORTMADOG .PEMBROKESHIRE ,COLDICOT
WILTSHIRE ROYAL WESSEX YEO- DORCAN
ROYAL YEO -SWINDON ACADEMY etc
Most of the C C F units also wear the cap badge of the affiliated regiments/corps exception being Marlborough College which has its own shoulder title and ''new badge '' ;this being the earlier badge Marlborough college cadet corps This new badge is cast
Over the years I have written to most of the units asking for information on insignia worn
