Welcome to Hawkeye Cadet Council

The Hawkeye Cadet Council was started in 1960 and is an independent (non-denominational) youth ministry organization whose purpose is to provide the local church with a ministry program that will enable them to effectively share Christ’s love with boys from their church and community.

We are located throughout the central part of Iowa, but have a club in Kansas City, Missouri and north to Hollandale, Minnesota.

The Calvinist Cadet Corps was founded in 1952 and has more than 600 clubs throughout North America. We encourage any evangelical Bible believing church to consider using our ministry programs. The organization uses the title “Calvinist” to honor the Protestant reformer, John Calvin, who devoted his life to the religious education of God’s children.

Our theme this year is “Rooted and Grounded” based on  Ephesians 3:17-18 “And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, … to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ.”
