Purpose before achievement
Every mission must lead to something larger than the expedition itself.
Founded by former cadets · Built for future cadets
Purpose inspires adventure.
Adventure creates opportunity.
Cadet Horizons undertakes authentic missions, shares the journey honestly and builds partnerships that help create meaningful opportunities for young people.
01
Why we exist
The activity may change.
The purpose never does.
Cadet Horizons exists to create opportunities for young people through authentic adventure. Mountains, waterways, coastlines and future environments are the setting. They are not the purpose.
Safety before success
Good judgement, preparation and the confidence to turn back are central to every mission.
Legacy beyond the journey
Adventure becomes story. Story creates partnership. Partnership creates opportunity.
02 · The founders
Experience placed in service of a larger purpose.
The founders are the people delivering the missions. They are not the mission itself.
Jeremy Pitman · Founder
From Cadet to Founder.
Jeremy began as an Army Cadet, served in the British Army Reserve—including operational deployments—and returned to the cadet movement in senior leadership roles. Cadet Horizons is the culmination of that journey.
Alan Etherton · Co-Founder
Adventure in every environment.
Alan brings experience across mountains and waterways, helping shape credible missions grounded in teamwork, preparation and authentic challenge.
