All About The Royal Canadian Air Cadets
Royal Canadian Air Cadets participate in a variety of fun and challenging activities. There is something for everyone – no matter what their personal interests may be. The outdoor enthusiast will appreciate learning survival skills for flight crew. The athlete will appreciate physical education and recreation, including a variety of sporting activities like biathlon and Olympic-style marksmanship. The artists will find their niche in the music program.
The curious will appreciate the hands-on activities such as building model aircraft. The scholarly will appreciate an introduction to the various tools and technologies linked to aviation. The dreamers will appreciate the evolution of technology and the advancements of the aerospace era, including the importance of Canadian participation.
Select top senior cadets may even earn the chance to represent Canada on the world stage by participating in an international exchange.
Most importantly, Air Cadets aids in developing knowledge of Canadian history and democracy. The cadet program focuses on social development, decision-making and leadership. As cadets acquire skills and knowledge, they pass it along to younger cadets.
Every cadet will have the chance to participate in flight activities, and some top senior cadets may even earn a scholarship to obtain their private pilot’s licence. Whether earning a glider pilot licence or private pilot licence, these cadets wear their wings with a pride rarely found in today’s youth.
The Air Cadet Program is open to the youth of Canada who are between the ages of 12 and 18. Administered jointly by the Department of National Defence and the Air Cadet League of Canada, the program offers a wide variety of training and exciting challenges and rewards to those young people who have chosen to take part in this program.
While the program is military based, there is no obligation for a cadet to join the Canadian Armed Forces when he or she finishes their cadet career. However, those cadets who choose to pursue a career in the Canadian Military certainly have an advantage and insight as to what to expect in their chosen career.
Citizenship, Leadership, Community Service, Communication, Drill, Sports, Marksmanship, First Aid, Survival, Music, Aircraft Identification, Navigation, Aerospace, Meteorology, Airport Operations are only a few of the activities you can enjoy by joining the other cadets at 756 Wild Goose Squadron in Georgetown.
Come join the fun Monday evenings from 18:30 to 21:15 (6:30 to 9:15 p.m.) at the J.R. Barber Armouries at 91 Todd Road in Georgetown, Ontario. Check the "Next Parade Night" article for current parade night details.
