128 Army Cadet Unit - Morton Depot, Yandina

128ACU is a youth development organisation operating within the Australian Army Cadets.  We are the only army cadet unit on the Sunshine Coast.  The unit welcomes all teenagers (both male and female) who meet the joining criteria on the Army Cadets webpage.  The Army and local community provide support to the unit so as to make us a lower cost alternative compared to some weekend activities.

The unit undertakes a wide range of activities, from weekend bivouacs in the Sunshine Coast Region, through to week long camps with cadets from all over Southern Queensland, as well as ceremonial guards and marches, community support and adventure training.  We aim to offer all cadets as many opportunities as possible to improve their abilities whilst having fun in a safe and supervised environment.  A key unit objective is the development of young leaders through practical experience in a bush environment.

The unit parades at the Army Reserve Depot on Cordwell Road, Yandina on a Sunday.  Typically we have two Sunday parades and a weekend activity in a 6 week cycle.

We typically run two recruit intakes per year - at the start of February and in mid June.  Please email the unit on [email protected] for further information on joining.
