Seeking additional volunteer staff

-

1368 (Warwick and Royal Leamington Spa) Squadron is actively seeking new Civilian Instructors and uniformed Cadet Forces Adult Volunteers to join its team. 

1368 Sqn has achieved a high degree of success over the last year winning all of the last 4 Wing sports trophy competitions and brill performance by our newbies at Wing Field Day '23. This success and engagement in the community has resulted in more cadets wanting to join. More adult volunteers able to get involved are sought.

If interested, then submit application for info via official portal here (postcode for Sqn is CV34 6RA) so we can arrange a chat with the Officer Commanding: Find your local squadron | Royal Air Force Air Cadets (mod.uk) 


The above link also provides recently refreshed material on adult volunteering roles and some of the safeguarding aspects, such as our need to do DBS checks.

AP818 - RAF Drill and Ceremonial Manual for Air Cadets

-
Last week, the cadets did some drill practice, partly in readiness for parades that are coming up, partly to give new prospective NCOs some experience "at the front" and also to sharpen up Squadron discipline. Drill is a powerful aid to discipline. It develops a sense of corporate pride, alertness, precision and readiness to obey orders instantly. Good drill in aircraft is directly fostered by the habit of drilling smartly on parade. Thus, smartness on parade is not only a sign of good discipline, but a basic factor in raising the standard of performance in duties. Back in the (really) old days, the Air Cadets used to have its own Air Cadet drill manual. Nowadays this is all gone. The RAFAC aligns wholly to the RAF Drill manual called AP818 . To do it by the book, therefore, check out the book! (it's actually how the RAF teaches it).

DofE enrolment: An  .doc enrolment form  or PDF  (link to form with some pre-filled info for Sqn) must be completed on first enrolment to eDofE. 1368 Sqn is passionate about the Duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme. The DofE is open to young people and has 3 levels - Bronze, Silver and Gold.  Participants complete activities at each level over set periods in each of 4 sections - Volunteering, Expeditions, Skills, Physical; for Gold only, a Residential is added as a fifth section. For the Participant: The DofE is understood by those outside of the ATC. There is a greater expectation of involvement by the cadet in the planning stage of their DofE experience than in standard cadet syllabus, thus accelerating the process of personal development. The ATC syllabus offers an almost ‘off-the-shelf’ programme to gain an Award and there are ample opportunities for cadets and young volunteer staff to gain Awards by their work within the Corps. DofE generates success in areas of particular interest to t
