Squadron Mascot Contest

3. Deadline: Tues, 10 Oct 23
4. Details:
   1. It has come to my attention that we are in need of a squadron mascot! Cadets who attended the Spring FTX or the CAP this summer might remember 832’s mascot, Sgt Stu, or the CAP mascot Maple. We are one of few units in the Ottawa area without a mascot to represent us! 706 has a stuffed snowy owl, 632 has a stuffed Phoenix. What will 5 have?
5. Rules:
   1. Mascot must be air cadets/Canadian Armed Forces/Cyclone related.
   2. One submission per cadet.
   3. Must be practical. We must be able to create the mascot and bring to inter-squadron events and squadron activities.
6. To Enter:  Send your ideas to [email protected].
