Reg Cpl looks down at the Res Cpl who looks down at the Cadet Cpl..... see anything common here?
It is obvious that a 14 yr old will not have the same baggage of experience as an 18 or 20 yr old individual. It is obvious that someone with some very basic courses will have the same capabilities as someone with years of full time experience and leadership courses up the Kazoo...
That having been said, the Cadet NCOs lead their troops. The Reserve NCOs lead their troops and the Reg NCOs lead their troops. (depending on your branch, Reg/Res training is similar and can be interchanged)
My former Reserve unit conducts a Leadership course for it's affiliated Cadet Corps over the XMass break every year. The unit offers - the Corps has a choice of accepting or "giving it a pass"... It's up to the Corps leaders to decide if it's within the scope of values they want to transmit to their members.
