Cadets at Scott will mix fun with lessons Published June 1, 2011 Scott Air Force Base, Ill. -- AFJROTC Summer Leadership School is back once again. The high school-age junior ROTC cadets will be at Scott Air Force Base from June 12-18. Activities for the week will center on developing teamwork and individual leadership skills. The week will begin June 12 with a welcome at the base theater followed by bowling and pizza. The camp begins at full speed early June 13 with physical training. The rest of the day June 13 will be spent at the YMCA Family camp in Belleville doing team-building exercises. Other activities during the week include Military Careers Day, Security Force's Day, Honor Guard training, Field Day, and the cadets will attend a Gateway Grizzlies Game and hit one of the base pools. During the evening, the cadets will be involved in various sports including volleyball, softball and ultimate frisbee. Drill and ceremony will also be emphasized throughout the week with reveille and retreat ceremonies each day. If there is any free time during the day, cadets will be expected to practice a flight drill sequence which culminates in a flight drill competition at the end of the week. This year there will be 140 cadets from high schools from Alabama, Illinois, Missouri, Kansas, Mississippi, Kentucky, and Alabama. Each of these cadets was selected to attend this camp because they are expected to take leadership roles in their units next fall. While this camp is not intended to be a basic training, it is intended to allow these students an opportunity to experience a small part of life on an active Air Force base. They will be staying in billeting and eating most of their meals in the dining facility. The week will end with a graduation parade at 9:30 a.m. June 18 on the parade ground. The base is invited to attend this parade as the cadets wrap up their week on base.
