Mission. The CAP National Cadet Competition program showcases the full range of challenges in cadet life experienced at the squadron level, and new areas of learning that are important to America. b. Vision. Squadrons and individual cadets motivated to excel in all facets of the CAP Cadet Program. c. Program Goals. To achieve its mission and vision, the NCC program pursues the following goals: (1) Promote excellence in squadron-level cadet programs. NCC’s contribution in this goal area is measured in two ways. First, total cadet participation, system-wide, is measured year-to-year, using the 2010 data set as the initial baseline. Second, the average annualized cadet promotion rate for participating squadrons will be compared with the non-participating squadrons’ average. (2) Promote individual excellence and learning in leadership, aerospace, fitness, and character. This is measured through end-of-activity self and peer assessments, with a goal of achieving an average score of 4.0 or better out of 5.0. (3) Showcase today’s cadets as tomorrow’s aerospace leaders. This public relations goal is measured quantitatively through media mentions and impressions, year-to-year, and qualitatively through partnerships maintained or strengthened with aerospace industry, senior military officials, educational leaders, and other natural stakeholders. (4) Achieve ever-increasing programmatic efficiency and return on investment. This goal is measured in terms of the budget performance for appropriated and corporate funds expended at the national level, and through feedback from teams and the NCC staff’s after action reports If you are interested in serving on staff at Cadet Competition, or if you represent your Squadron and your squadron would like to field a team to Cadet Competition, please let me know NLT 01MAR18. As with all Cadet-centric activities, this is interest-based. Wing will need at least 3 x teams to participate in order for the activity to be successful. There will be a maximum of 5 x teams allowed to compete in this event. | Sign in begins at 1900 on 25 October at Camp Boucher in Ephrata. Uniform is civilian attire Resources:  |
