January Drill at Camp King

The Baton Rouge Div held monthly drill and had a good turnout.  Cadets prepped for annual inspection, updated their ribbon racks, pressed and rolled neckerchiefs. Cadets practiced facing movements and more.

For several weeks prior to drill, the adults planned and plotted a 2+ mile compass course with several different way points along the way.  The cadets were divided into three teams and each team started at a different time.  Each team was issued tactical gear and course directions.  

Former recruits participated in the ceremonial recruit cover retirement ceremony to symbolize becoming full cadets and never having to wear recruit covers again.
