Corps Cadets
The overall goal of the Corps Cadet program is to prepare our young people for a lifelong commitment to spiritual growth and a personal relationship with Jesus Christ and for serving God and The Salvation Army to the fullest extent possible. A program aimed at 13-18 year-olds, this required program holds classes during the months of September through May, taking one month off in winter (either December or January).
The BOLD for Corps Cadets curriculum is a student-based learning format in which students actively participate in activities and discussions and make discoveries rather than having teachers dictate all facts and ideas. Through the lessons, corps cadets understand biblical truths and derive important principles to apply to their own life situations.
Junior Soldiers
The Junior Soldier program is aimed at 7-14 year-olds. A month or more after seeking salvation, a young person may be accepted for Junior Soldiership if he or she is not a member of another church.
The overall goal is to make sure our Salvation Army children have personally received Jesus Christ as their Savior and that they begin to be disciple in biblical truths, life applications, and Salvation Army principles and practices. The desire is for them to mature as continually-developing followers of Christ and active soldiers in The Salvation Army.
Adventure Corps
The Salvation Army Adventure Corps is a character-building program designed for boys in grades one through eight. Its purpose is to assist boys in developing their individuality and potential.
It has been proven that youth are less likely to participate in risky behaviors (drugs, alcohol, teen sex, violence, etc.) if they consistently take part in positive community programs. At the same time, good health and success in school increase when youth take part in community programs. Adventure Corps is a faith-based community program which focuses on the physical, mental, and spiritual growth needed in males today. Adventure Corps is an important aspect in Corps ministry that could provide a Corps with a strong young male church base.
Girl Guards
The Salvation Army Girl Guard program emphasizes discipleship, evangelism, and the development of life skills. Aimed at girls in grades 6-12, it offers opportunities for building relationships with the youth who are members of the program as well as unique opportunities for presenting the gospel. Girl Guards takes members through a series of achievement emblems to develop their unique individuality and potential.

A kindergartner is much more like a three to four-year-old child than a six-year-old, developmentally and cognitively. Eyesight, hearing, motor skills, and bones are all still developing, as well as the ability to reason and think logically. Moonbeams offers a variety of activities to help children develop their self-image and their image of God.
Sunbeams

Aimed at girls in grades 1-5, it offers opportunities for building relationship with the youth who are members of the program as well as unique opportunities for presenting the gospel. Sunbeams takes members through a series of achievement emblems and award levels that help youth to develop their unique individuality and potential.
