About
About
The Lugoff-Elgin Army JROTC program was founded in May, 1971. Our JROTC is an Army JROTC, and often is referred to as the Demon Battalion. It is part of a network of over 3,500 high schools across the country that feature a JROTC program, sponsored by the United States Armed Forces. The Junior Reserve Officers' Training Corps was originally created as a part of the National Defense Act of 1916, and serves not to only prepare students for military careers, but to instill in students the values of citizenship, leadership, service to the United States, personal responsibility, and a sense of accomplishment. While doing all of this it is instilling in the students self-esteem, teamwork, and self-discipline.

December Parades
The JROTC program has volunteered to participate in two parade events in December: the Catfish Stomp in Elgin and the Lights of Lugoff Parade in Lugoff. Cadets are asked to volunteer for these events as part of their service learning. These parades are sure to be a festive and exciting part of the JROTC experience, and will help give Cadets a place in the program. We hope to see you there!
Lugoff-Elgin Demon Battalion is proud of Cadets who volunteered to be in the 2025 Veterans Day parade in Downtown Columbia!
