Any assistance parents/Guardians can provide to the Support Committee and to the cadet Corps, in support of your cadet is greatly appreciated. The following are a few expectations of parents/guardians:- Attend Commanding Officer’s Parades (first Monday of every month or verify calendar) to support your cadet on parade;
- Parents/Guardians are asked to stay with cadets until an Officer has arrived on-site (for each activity).
- Parents/Guardians are asked to arrive 15 minutes before the end of the activity to pick up their son/daughter. Being there 15 minutes earlier allows for any unforeseen delays in travel, able to hear announcements, and ensuring cadets are picked up on time.
- Help with fundraising activities and volunteer for activities, when needed;
- Help your child learn how to wash, iron, and take care of their cadet uniforms. Please do not do your child’s uniform for them, we want them to learn.
- Encourage your cadet to use the website as a resource and/or follow their “chain-of-command”. If they’re not sure where a badge should be sewn on their uniform or what time they need to be at an activity, what to bring for a field training exercise (FTX), after checking the website, have them discuss with their Troop Commander or 2IC; and
- Keep an open communication with the corps. If your cadet is having a hard time, or you have a concern, please send us an email, give us a call or visit us in person. All of our staff are here and committed to offering a fun program to the youth in our community.
