2025-2026 Theme: Stand Firm
Our theme for the 2025-2026 Cadet season is “Stand Firm.”
This theme is based on 1 Corinthians 16:13-14: “Be on your guard; stand firm in the faith; be courageous; be strong. Do everything in love.”
We pray that this theme will challenge cadets and counselors to be faithful believers in their churches and communities. In doing so, we hope to encourage the boys and men of Cadets to stand firm as they live for Jesus.
Cadet Quest Theme
The “Stand Firm” theme will also be emphasized throughout the year in the Cadet Quest magazine, particularly in the B Lessons of the Bible studies, as well as the counselor editions of these lessons. These lessons are also available separately from the magazine, so you can use the theme lessons without subscribing to Cadet Quest.
Supporting Materials
Additional supporting materials include themed bookmarks and posters. The bookmarks make inexpensive but useful gifts that keep the theme in front of cadets. The posters boldly proclaim the theme while making a great addition to your Cadet bulletin board and/or meeting area. (Your club will receive a smaller version of the poster in your fall start-up packet.)
Cadet Week/Cadet Sunday
We’ve made lots of theme-related material – logo image files, projection screens, sermon notes, etc. – available for you to use during Cadet Week and Cadet Sunday. Look for more of these materials to show up online this summer.
Counselor Theme Resources
We’re putting together a whole package of theme-related resources for counselors, and we’re putting them all online. We’ll be adding to these materials over the course of the summer, so stay tuned!
Stand Firm
However you utilize the upcoming theme, we hope it will challenge and encourage you and your cadets. We pray that this theme will be used to reach boys in your church and community more effectively.
