GEMS will equip you to help your girl embrace the Truth that she is loved by God—no matter what.”

Cadeting is an outgrowth of a boy's organization known as the "Christian Boys Club League" which began in the early 1950's. The Calvinist Cadet Corps was actually formed when the name and first constitution were adopted on October 16, 1952. The goal of the Calvinist Cadet Corps is to help boys grow spiritually in areas of life, (devotional, mental, physical and social) by providing Christian men with a uniquely designed structure, program and materials. We have special activities planned throughout the year; the Illiana Council Campout, Christmas party, and a Pinewood Derby race.
