The air training corps are based all around the UK. You can join from the age of 13 to the age of 20. Squadrons may be different from one another but you learn great skills like flying, shooting, drills, banners, field craft, survival, and LOUDS. Air Cadets is a great thing to get to do so go to your nearest squadron and give it a go.
The regular meetings are not paid; but some of the courses that cadets can take do have some monetary compensation.
There is a site with much information and some examples at the related link.

Australian Air Force Cadets's motto is 'Educate, Challenge, Excites'.
