Hello- we are 2210 -Cowley- Squadron of the Royal Air Force Air Cadets- which is the local air cadet squadron for Oxford- We are a youth organisation sponsored and supported by the Royal Air Force but we are not part of it and are a registered charity- Our role is to inspire and develop an interest in aviation and community spirit through a sense of fun and adventure with cadets experiencing a variety of activities including- the Duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme- target shooting- camping- hiking- qualifying as a glider pilot- completing a flying scholarship- We do military foot drill as a team building exercise and adventure training to develop independence and leadership skills as much as we make aircraft model kits and do target shooting to encourage self-discipline and attention to detail- The majority of our activities are linked to qualifications such as First Aid at Work Certificate- Basic Expedition Leader Award- BTEC certificate in Aviation Studies and the BTEC diploma in Public Services- For those career minded teenagers we provide opportunities through a network of organisations such as the Royal Aeronautical Society who invite and encourage cadets to attend events and seminars- there are opportunities to visit aviation companies from those who build aircraft- to Research and Development businesses to those who build orbital satellites and all the support activities associated with operating airports or delivering air shows- This gives great opportunities to learn the industry and network- Should an individual wish to join the Royal Air Force we can support their interest by giving them knowledge of what the RAF does- its terminology- what aircraft it has- who does what in the RAF- its structure- where it operates and to a small degree what the service- and in particular culture and ethos of the RAF is- We can-t get people in the RAF but we can help- Intakes for new cadets are on the second Monday of each month- If you would like more information please visit www-aircadets-tv-2210 or email oc-2210-aircadets-org to register on our waiting list for the next intake-
