Calling All Youth - Ages Kindergarten and Up
Community Support
Many Canadians don’t realize that the Legion is one of the largest supporters of community youth activities in the country. The Legion promotes Remembrance to the younger generation and works with schools and youth organizations to keep the memories of our Fallen Veterans alive. The Legion also supports youth leadership programs and activities such as Cadets, Scouts and Guides, and youth sports, helping build the next generation of leaders. Visit our youth sports, education and leadership pages to find out more.
Support for Cadets and Junior Canadian Rangers
The Royal Canadian Legion has a long and valued partnership with Cadets and Junior Canadian Rangers (JCR). Cadets and JCR engage in varied and unique experiences and develop competencies in leadership, citizenship, and physical and mental fitness.
Cadets and JCR volunteer with the Legion Poppy Campaign, support our Veterans and take active roles in commemorative ceremonies across Canada. These youth play a significant role in supporting Legion activities and promoting Remembrance. In return, Legion Branches assist corps, squadrons and patrols in various ways that add to the success of the programs. .
