As you say, you're too young for the cadets but you can join the scouts, it'll give you the basics, like how to put up a tent, navigation with a map and compass, fire making, first aid and so on
Then when you're old enough go for the Army cadets and you'll have the foundation of the training already, it'll give you an edge over the others

You will have to wait untill you are older then.

Jack, you can get older! In the meantime, be in good shape, study hard and be ready to serve your country.

Stay in school, get healthy, obey laws, be kind to others and do not be in such a hurry to put on a uniform just to die in someone else's country. There is no glory or grandeur in war, there is only death and injury. It is a very messy business. In truth there are no winners or heroes, only survivors. One does NOT fight for god and country. Why? When the spam hits the fan there is no god or country, there is only the desire to live long enough to see the sunrise one more time. There is only the NEED to keep your 'buddy' alive and in turn he will do his best to keep you alive. There is only the NEED to kill before you are killed or worse. In war the only fortunate ones are the dead, they don't have to live with the horrors and the memories for the remainder of their lives. Wars age people far beyond their years. Do you want to be old before your time? Do you want to wake up in a sweat wondering where you are and why? Do you like the idea of cringing at loud noises? Do you want the memory of seeing your buddy explode in front of you leaving nothing but a smoking boot and an eyeball pasted to a bush? Spending 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year seeing the faces of those I have killed and maimed, hearing their screams of agony, smelling the blood and death not only of my opponents but also my friends. This is what you will experience and remember for the rest of your life. These are the kind of memories I get to live with the rest of my life. No matter how much you scrub and wash the gore does not come off, the horrors do not go away.
The concept can not be understood by those who have never been in it. Some say "Get over it". There is no "Getting over it", there is only living with it and trying to find meaning in senseless tragedy.

Get through school and college, when you're old enough join the cadets/ the TA.... then when you finish college go join the army if you want, then you have something to fall back on :-)

Here's what you do. As soon as you are able, make it known to your parents that your heart is set upon a military career and that you wish to join the Army Cadets.

The link below will explain all about the ACF (Army Cadet Force).

You can join the British Army from age 16 and enter as a Junior Leader. I strongly recommend that you get a trade because this will stand you in good sted when you leave and have to earn a living back in civvie street.

This next link helps explain about jobs in the British Army.
