Staff Development Squadron

Staff Development Squadron Commander:	C/Capt Cory Titus
SDS Seminar

A basic cadet at encampment is exposed to challenges they have never faced before. These challenges prepare the cadets to be excellent followers in the Civil Air Patrol. After the completion of the basic encampment cadets may return and attend the Staff Development Squadron. This program, which runs parallel to the basic encampment, provides the opportunity for the cadets to gain experience leading their peers in the encampment environment. The training that the cadets go through will be very rigorous in a way the SDS Cadets have never experienced, but if they learn to communicate effectively as a group and utilize their resources the cadets will emerge successful from this experience, ready to be leaders in their squadrons and Minnesota Wing.  I look forward to watching the cadets as they go through this incredible week of personal growth.
