Get in Touch, Start a Club

Contact the Cadet office and talk to someone on staff. They will send you an “info packet” and talk to you about what club start-up resources are available to you. It may be possible for you to get a first-hand look at a club. The staff can tell you if there is another club in your area that you can visit or find an experienced counselor in your area who can visit you.
