Spring Tagging Signup
Tagging is our main source of fundraising and we need your support! Any cadet who is under 16 must have a parent or guardian tag with them. We are asking that all cadets tag a minimum of 3 shifts. Tagging pays for all the fun and exciting things we do. We are planning an out of province trip next year so this tagging is important!
Tagging and Square
Those cadets who indicated they are interested in carrying a Square payment device during tagging should monitor their emails for an invite from the Square App. A separate email was also sent from the SSC@1012Squadron.com email with joining instructions. Please note we do not have a Square device for every cadet, so only certain Tagging locations will receive a device.
Gliding April 27th 2024
Cadets must arrive at Barrie Armoury by 0745 am. A bus will take cadets to Borden. Dress is civilian attire, cadets should be prepared to be outside and bring board games for downtime. Parents pick up cadets from Barrie Armoury by 130pm. Lunch will be provided to cadets.
Wolfs Den
Sign up quickly for the Wolfs Den trip, there are only 60 spots! We will be doing archery and sports. Dress is civilian, but make sure to dress for the weather as we are going to be outside.
