APRIL RECAP
Drill Team and Flag Party Competition
The cadets on the Drill Team and Flag Party had an amazing opportunity to showcase their skills at the Drill Team and Flag Party Competition! The 142 cadets have been practicing their drill routines since the beginning of the training year and have put in countless hours of dedication to be the best they possibly can be. Their hard work was clearly evident, as the Drill Team placed 1st in the competition against many other squadrons!The Flag Party also performed exceptionally well, placing 4th overall against many other squadrons. Congratulations to everyone involved on these outstanding achievements!
Tagging
The cadets had a very successful tagging weekend! A special thank you to the SSC for organizing the tagging event. Without their hard work and support, this would not have been possible. We would also like to thank the Legion for allowing us to use their space to help prepare the cadets throughout the weekend.A heartfelt thank you goes out to all the parents who drove their cadets to and from the location. Your support and commitment truly mean a great deal to the squadron. Lastly, thank you to all the cadets who participated and represented the squadron so well. Your efforts helped raise funds that will allow the squadron to continue providing exciting activities and opportunities throughout the year!
