Brussels Legion news Cadets offer challenge Taping students to be studied BY EUGENE JANES P.R.O. Congratulations to the Brussels Cadet Corps. The Corps was formed in February 1979. Cadets are trained in Drill, Map and Compass, Outdoor Living, Range Practice, Weaponry, First Aid, Water Safety, Skiing, Moun­ tain Climbing and other sports. All exercises are performed by and taught to cadets by Civilian Instructors and members of the Cadet Instructors List who are trained by Canadian Forces In­ structors on Military Bases. In 1975 girls were allowed to join the Cadet Corps. The present aims of the Cadet Corps are: to develop the attributes of good citizenship and leadership, promote physical fitness and to stimulate the interest of youth in the Sea, Land or Air elements of the Canadian Forces. When a young person between the ages of 12 and 19 joins a Royal Canadian Army Cadet Corps, he or she is started at a training level called Green Star. Each year depending on achievements, they proceed from Green Star to Red, RedtoSilverand Silver to Gold. Each level is more difficult and challenging. Cadets can attend summer camps and military training areas throughout Canada and each year some Gold Star Cadets can attend training in Europe. Weekly parades are held each Tuesday evening at the Legion hall where drills and theory training are carried out. The Corps also participates in community and service projects such as parking cars at town functions, selling poppies, cleanups and Legion services. The 2967 Brussels Legion Cadet Corps has the Royal Canadian Regiment(R.C.R.)4th Battalion as its affiliated unit. Elmira Branch visited our Branch on Saturday, February 21.
