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.
