2 VandenBos Whitby Air Cadet Squadron (Official)

Together, we build confidence and competence in a wide selection of diverse activities: marksmanship, effective speaking, musicianship, drill, sports & fitness, debate, and ground school. We learn how to become leaders and are given opportunities to apply our knowledge while leading teams through lessons, projects and events. We earn the respect of our peers and our mentors while seizing new opportunities to share our skills and our greatness. We build friendships that'll las...t our entire lifetimes, and have a lot of fun during our journeys. Oh yeah, and we learn how to glide and fly, too! And better still? This Program is entirely FREE (no cost to you)! Are you between the ages of 12 and 18 and want to join in the adventure? Applications for New Cadets are currently being accepted via our website: www.2vandenbos.org.

Love sports and/or want to develop your personal fitness goals? In 2 Squadron, we pride ourselves in producing champions who strive to always beat their personal achievements of yesterday and to work together as a team to compete at their best level *every* game. In-between games/matches during a day of competition, they strategise and stretch together; but just as important, they play, laugh, and dance together, building the bonds of friendship and getting to know one another even better so that our teams grow only stronger. A team that flexes together excels together! #aircadetsdosomuchmorethanfly #personalfitness #knowyourteam #teambuilding #wearethechampions #youthleadership #cadetsca #cadets_ontario #dreambelieveachieve

In times like these, it's more important than ever to be mindful and intentional of your physical and mental health. Both components are equally important to ensure that you have a healthy immune system and are able to live your best life. This week during Checkpoint, we'll be sharing our strategies for Healthy Eating and Active Living Plus A Personal Fitness Challenge by WO2 Parkins. Join us Saturday at 7 PM ready to share your favourite active routine/activity to break a... sweat, tone your muscles, and/or to strengthen your mind. Got a healthy snack recipe or easy way to stop snacking in the evenings? Please share it with us! Need a fitness or accountability buddy? Want assistance on creating a fitness plan that meets your personal needs and schedule? We've got you covered. #aircadetsdosomuchmorethanfly #personalfitness #cadetsca #cadets_ontario #dothework #dayonenotoneday #dreambelieveachieve

A #TBT post to memories of November 2019 when representatives from 2 Squadron were honoured to assist the Whitby Rotary Club (@rotarywhitby) pay tribute to our Canadian soldiers, past and present, for all of their sacrifices to ensure that we live in a safe and inclusive country. For their commitment to their community, our Cadets were awarded the Club's coveted Impact Award Books. Thank you to the @whitbyrotary Club for welcoming us and for enforcing 'Service Above Self' wit...h our Cadets. 2 VandenBos Cadets look to your mentorship for achieving their citizenship goals. Like yours, our group continues to identify and develop innovative ways to support Whitby despite the pandemic requiring us to cease our traditional in-person initiatives like Adopt A Road, holiday toy drives, live Concerts for Whitby Seniors, and participating in many Community Events, such as parades, #whitbyrotaryribfest and #brooklinharvestfestival. Earlier this year, we conducted two waves of our Stationery Sunshine for Seniors letter writing project, which spread rays of joy like sunshine among Cadets and Seniors of 8 our local long term residences and care homes alike. Next up: spreading some holiday cheer! If you're wanting (your tween/teen) to build citizenship skills while supporting our community, head to www.2vandenbos.org and click the green link to learn more about our recruitment process. Applications are now being accepted for training beginning 2 December. #leadersbuildingleaders #aircadetsdosomuchmorethanfly #whitbyyouth #whitbyrotary #lestweforget #dreambelieveachieve #communityservice #leadbyexample #getinvolved
