Joining 2370

Hopefully, now that you've read through the website and think that 2370 (Denham) Squadron is for you, you want to know how to join? Do you have what it takes?

Read our checklist, and find out if you are eligible to join the Squadron.

Joining Checklist

  • Are you aged between 13 and 18? For insurance and legal purposes, the Squadron cannot admit Cadets under the age of 13. You may register your interest with us, and we will advise you when you can return if you do not fall between these age groups.
  • Do you have a sense of humour? Making friends and having fun needs a good sense of humour: we are a friendly Squadron, and enjoy having a laugh.
  • Are you willing to learn? Your opportunities on the Squadron will be limited only by what you can achieve. If you want to learn, and are keen to do well, then you can reach for everything we can offer.
  • Do you have commitment and self-discipline? The Squadron is not a youth club — we are a military youth organisation. Conformity to standards of dress and behaviour will be expected, and you will need to put some effort in to your actions and appearance. Equally, we want to give you as much as we can; and you'll need to spend time with us to benefit to the maximum. We parade twice a week, and there are often weekend activities for you to join in.
  • Do you have a sense of adventure? Cadets is all about developing your sense of adventure — through training and amazing opportunities we can offer you.

If you have answered "yes" to all of the above, then come and give it a go — you have nothing to lose!

Joining Procedure

If you would like to join, then please either:

  • visit us on a Monday or Thursday from 19.30 to 21.30 hours,
