There are two recruit intakes a year. These are held the first week of Terms 1 & 3. As a recruit you must be committed to attend the In-barracks Course and the Field Phase Course before you can advance to be a cadet.
If you are between 11 and 17 years of age and keen to check out what it’s all about, come along to our next OPEN DAY on SATURDAY 30 MAY 2026 where our cadets showcase some of the activities we offer and the staff provide information sessions. You do not need to be registered to attend.
FREE TRIAL NIGHTS FOR NEW RECRUITS
The next recruit intake is the fist week of Term 3. However, we recommend that the cadet attend the three free trial nights at the end of Term 2, to get a better understanding of how it all works, before committing to the Recruit course.
The next trial nights are as follows:
03 JUNE 2026
10 JUNE 2026
17 JUNE 2026
Come on down to the barracks at Fern Street on Wednesday night from 5:30pm to participate for free with no commitment to join. A light supper is provided free of charge. Trial recruits must be registered before attending. Click the REGISTER button on our home page to complete your registration of interest for OPEN DAY or TRIAL NIGHTS. Alternatively, you can email our recruiting officer for more information on how to register or for more information.

MOTHER OF CADET PATRICK O’DONNELL

For my son, Patrick, stepping out of his comfort zone was more frightening than thinking outside his box. Trying to find at least something for him to do that he would enjoy, stick to and certainly gain more confidence with in himself was always a battle. I never thought for a split second that he would be entering a new phase in his life so soon. Patrick started with LCCC in February this year and It has been 8 months now, and I can honestly say, the things I thought he could never do he did. The power to stay strong and persevere. Its not the work LCCC has done that I commend – because the word ‘work’ is really about being paid for a 9-5 job. It’s their passion their unconditional support, encouragement and their drive to see the successful recruits turn to cadets.
When he marched on Anzac day this year, my heart nearly burst because it was just full of pride. The unit including all staff wear their hearts purely on their sleeves. I always wondered when his spark would ignite and LCCC has given him that opportunity to shine because he knows they have never given up on him and to him, that really does means a lot. He has the utmost respect for all staff, officers and CO, as he cannot stop talking about them. The camps, coming home on a Wednesday night if something exciting happened. Thank you LCCC as you are playing a huge part in making wonderful memories for him to share later in life and that was my whole point of focus as well as bringing him out of his comfort zone. I cannot thank you enough. I salute to you all.

Thank you very much for your show of faith and camaraderie in inviting the QCB cadets along to the Junior Leaders In-Barracks Program this weekend.
Despite the fact that one of our members had to withdraw at the last minute, the two of us who were able to attend enjoyed coming along. It was great to meet and work with the cadets, experience your fantastic facilities first hand, and have the opportunity to expand our knowledge and skills. The weekend was very highly organised and your genuine hospitality most appreciated.
We picked up some excellent pointers to help us in our next phase of leadership and mentoring within the QCB. Our thanks to the teaching staff who showed us, by example, the importance of compassion and understanding towards your target audience. We particularly enjoyed the Delivering Drill Commands with LT Aaron Chase-Currier on Saturday afternoon.
Bushman Papa (Peter) would also especially like to thank CAPT Anthea Chase-Currier for researching and supplying the gluten-free products for him, and all the very obliging kitchen staff, who went to so much trouble to make sure he was well-fed and his catering needs met.
We hope that you felt that our attendance was a worthwhile endeavour for the group. We are certainly looking forward to sharing more activities with the LCCC and catching up again with the friends we have made there.
Yours sincerely,
Corporal Ashley McCorkindale

Flashback to 2011. I actually miss doing cadets and all the amazing people I met. We did so much for the community and for the fallen and serving troops. I’m so proud of the Logan City Community Cadet Unit and all they do. There was always a fun side and a serious side to it. I am proud of the fact that I could be a part of a great experience that I wouldn’t trade for anything in the world. Through cadets I met some good friends that I know I can always trust and rely on.
