Cadets benefit in many ways after joining a team. While they become more confident,
improve their teamwork skills and discipline, and develop a camaraderie with their fellow team
members, they are given the opportunity to earn awards based on their performance on that
team. The following is taken from our online S.O.P. (Standing Operating Procedures). You can
view the S.O.P. in its entirety by visiting the From the Staff page of this website.
