Each training night will begin with an opening parade, two 30-minute classes, a break, one 30-minute class and a closing parade. Cadets are all divided into five proficiency levels, where cadets will have an opportunity to learn and interact with cadets of a similar age. Cadets are expected to attend all training nights and to be on the parade square formed up on time.
Uniforms
Uniforms are provided free of charge, including exchanges as cadets grow. Cadets are expected to maintain their uniforms and return them upon leaving the program. The Supply page will contain information on ordering, exchanging and maintaining uniforms.
