The purpose of this group is to provide the cadets and parent/guardian(s) of 638 Squadron with a resource to keep up-to-date with information and upcoming dates. This is not an official website, nor is it meant to represent the views of the Department of National Defence and the Canadian Cadet Movement.
12 June 2014
June 14th will be the First Rocket Club launch, being held at the Luloff farm. (251 Kelly Lake Road, directions were handed out at tonight’s meeting) Transportation will not be provided and cadets must make their own arrangements there and back. Cadets are asked to arrive no earlier than 10:30 and no later than 11:15. The road is one way road so all vehicles will have to leave at once. We ask all parents to start arriving at 16:30 for pick up.
Prizes will be handed out to cadets who can complete certain challenges such as hitting landing targets and furthest highest achieved. All cadets have one rocket engine included in there kits and it is recommended that more are purchased. Each rocket engine is $5 and I am sure after you launch one you will want to do another, especially if you are out there all day.
The weather forecast for the weekend looks good but the Facebook group and the blog will be updated just in case of a change of weather. The 15th will be used as a backup day. All cadets are to bring water bottles, bug spray and sun screen. Cadets are encouraged to bring snacks as meals are not provided but light snacks may be.
