236 Bollington Squadron Air Cadets 3.03

As an Air Cadet with 236 (Bollington) Squadron you'll have the opportunity to do things that others only dream about.

Want to fly? No problem!

How about heading out on adventurous training and camps, sometimes overseas? Normal for air cadets.

Competitive sports, drill, shooting, music, abseiling, engineering projects? Our list of activities is long, varied and open to all air cadets.

Yes it's a challenge, but that's what life's all about. Let's face it - where else would you be given the opportunity to fly solo in a glider or powered aircraft when you're 17? Whatever you do with your life, at the end of your time as a cadet you'll be self-motivated, confident and ready for anything.

236 (Bollington) Squadron ATC is part of the Air Cadet Organisation which is based on and supported by the Royal Air Force.

Mission

All of our work is based around three central aims:

- To promote and encourage a practical interest in aviation and the Royal Air Force among young people

- To provide training which will be useful in the Services and civilian life

- To encourage the spirit of adventure and develop qualities of leadership and good citizenship

The Air Cadet Organisation aims to provide meaningful and useful activities for young people in Bollington and the wider area. Cadets have the opportunity to be involved in a huge range of activities from flying and gliding, to adventure training, to shooting and sports.

236 (Bollington) Squadron has recently moved into its brand new accommodation provided by the North West Reserve Forces Cadet Association. This fantastic new facility is warm, comfortable and provides a fantastic venue for the cadets and adult staff.
