Cadet Honors & Awards The Canadian Cadet Movement maintains its own honors and awards system. Cadets may be awarded these based on a multitude of criteria including bravery, citizenship, service, outstanding performance, and many more. In addition, cadets may also wear on their uniform any orders, decorations, and medals of Canada they have been awarded. Cadets who transfer between any of the three cadet elements may still wear the awards they received from another previous service.
