Cadet ProgramsYoung men and women, ages 12-18, receive instruction and training in leadership, aerospace, military customs and courtesies, proper wear of uniforms, guided by squadron senior members. Physical training is a regular activity. Hands-on aerospace education activities, such as paper airplane contests, wind tunnel construction and aerodynamic testing, and construction of airplane and rocket models are included every month. Trips to local sites for rocket launching allow cadets to test their rocket designs and construction skills. And before most meetings, cadets participate in drill practice. For some, their skill allows them to become color guard members, with invitations to present the flag at local events.
