Has anyone's cadet participated in CPRC before?
I am planning the CPRC events for Spring Break and am running out of ideas!
I have Boy Scout troops, JROTC units and schools covered.
Any other ideas of good places/groups for a CPRC cadet to visit/do?
Thanks :thumb:
 
My son did CPRC, he spoke to a Civil Air Patrol squadron in our area.
 
We set up interviews with our local newspapers. Our one paper is took an article a cadet wrote and printed. Maybe interview with school newspaper or even local radio? Also, Founder's Day is on 19 March--

Basically about 30 minutes to an hour. It will vary depending on the audience and occasion.
I think the format is going to be to show a WP DVD ('Leaders of a Lifetime' maybe), then a talk by the cadet (what interested him in WP, life there, his sport, summer experiences, major declared, etc) followed by a Q&A.
Will have WP 'take home' materials too.
I suspect that the cadet will wear dress gray for this CPRC.

Thanks everyone for the suggestions!!
