However, it does cost a lot of money to keep things running, and to ensure that we can provide you with the best cadet experience possible.
We sincerely ask all cadets to provide an annual donation to the squadron when they join, or when they return to parade in September.
These funds help the squadron pay for things like insurance, facility rentals, excursions, sporting events, weekend retreats, parties, and more!
You can learn more about donations and funding here.
