Congratulations on choosing to join 140 Aurora Squadron. The Squadron has nearly 29 years of successful training for hundreds of young men and women. We're looking forward to welcoming you.
140 Aurora Squadron accepts new recruits throughout the year. Below are the documents required for registration. Please download and print all files and contact us at 140admo@gmail.com for information on submission. A copy of the Health Card and Birth Certificate or Passport is required to join.
Cadets are required to sell a book of Air Cadet League lottery tickets, which must be prepaid at $60 a book. In addition, the Squadron also charges an Assessment Fee of $70. This money goes back to the Air Cadet League.
140 Aurora Squadron meets every Tuesday from 6:30 pm until 9:30 pm. Training covers a whole range of subjects, including citizenship, aviation, sports, marksmanship and so much more.
Weekly optional training on Thursdays includes Band, marksmanship, biathlon, drill team and more. For cadets who will be 16 before 1 September 2019, Ground School is an option, where cadets will receive instruction from a certified pilot in preparation for application for the Glider Pilot Scholarship or the Power Pilot Scholarship. Younger cadets may also be eligible.
That doesn't include events like Gliding, Field Training Exercises and other events. In the past we have visited Hamilton Warplane Museum, Billy Bishop Airport, and have travelled to Marine Corps Recruiting Base Parris Island, Washington and more.
