SPONSOR MEMBERS
Do you have a few hours a month to give? Are you able to help drive cadets to an event? Can you spare some time to monitor cadets during one of our weekend activities? Then consider joining as a sponsor member. Sponsor members volunteer at their leisure with chaperoning on trips, being a second adult at our events, driving our van to activities, or assisting in their area of expertise by doing a presentation or assisting with a project. You can be a sponsor member if you are a parent or grand-parent of a cadet.
