In Switzerland, cadet (German:Kadett) refers to a participant of the programm of the corps of cadets (German:Kadettenkorps). Kadettenkorps are maintained by public schools or private associations. From the late 18th century to the mid of 20th century, the Kadettenkorps used to prepare highschool students for service in the Swiss army. Influenced by the "Turnerbewegung", the Kadettenkorps started in the early 20th century to shift their programm towards sports. Nowadays, the Swiss Cadets Association (German: Kadetten Schweiz) includes Kadettenkorps offering the following programms: general sports (including the national league handball club Kadetten Schaffhausen), trecking (like scouting), march music bands (German:Kadettenmusik) and traffic regulation (German:Verkehrskadetten). Kadettenkorps offering traffic regluation only, are represented by the Swiss Verkehrskadetten Association (German:Schweizerischer Verkehrskadetten Verband).
