ECT for Silver and Gold Star Cadets. Beginning at the Silver Star lever (third year), all cadets must take part in Expedition Cadet Training (ECT) weekend at one of the conservation areas in the region. There they will learn all about maintaining and repairing the bikes they will be using, how to safely hike, and camping routines. They then spend the weekend putting all this into practice as the ride through the woods, hike the trails and learn how to act as a team. This continues the following year with a more advanced weekend for the Gold Star cadets. This ECT weekend is mandatory for cadets to graduate their silver and gold star levels, but it is also a great weekend for cadets to challenge themselves and have fun.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Cadets currently in Silver & Gold Star are highly encouraged to keep their personal schedules open in order to attend this ETC weekend.
