Teams and Activities

Color Guard

Our Marine Corps JROTC unit’s Color Guard is often a very active representative of the unit at pubic events.   Whether it’s presenting the American Flag at high school basketball or football games, National Honor Society events, or school board meetings, our Color Guard stands ready to serve our school.  In the community, our Color Guard perform at parades, ceremonies, and sporting events.  

Drill Team

Marine Corps Junior ROTC Cadets across the nation dedicate countless hours to close order drill. It is written into the MCJROTC curriculum as a means of instilling discipline and esprit de corps, and continues to be one of the finest methods for developing confidence and leadership abilities of Cadets.  Units compete at local, state, regional and national Drill Team competitions throughout the year.  While fostering a friendly and entertaining environment, these competitions provide MCJROTC Cadets an opportunity to showcase their hours of dedication and tremendous marching skills.  

Marksmanship

Marksmanship is an integral part of the MCJROTC curriculum. With an emphasis on safety, the MCJROTC Marksmanship curriculum allows cadets to develop pride and a sense of accomplishment as they become more proficient with their marksmanship skills. Cadets will shoot the Daisy 853CM, an air rifle specifically designed exclusively for MCJROTC. Cadets will qualify and compete using the Three-Position Air Rifle Shooting standards. Three-Position Air Rifle Shooting is the most popular and fastest growing form of shooting sports competition for youth of high school age or younger. Precision Air Rifle is modeled after Olympic-style shooting and allows the use of specialized target rifles and equipment. Three-Position Air Rifle provides young competitors with competitive shooting sports opportunities that can be offered on a wide variety of easily accessible or easily constructed ranges.

Fitness Team

Marine Corps JROTC Cadets who want to be physically challenged can choose to participate on our Fitness Team. This is a competitive team that participates in demanding physical events such as Sit-Ups, Push-Ups, Pull-Ups, Broad Jump, and a 300 yard Shuttle Run. Members of the Fitness team have the ability to compete at local and state competitions in order to qualify for the annual national competition hosted by the Marine Corps. Being a member of our Fitness Team is a great way for a cadet to take their fitness to the next level and have a bunch of fun along the way. 

Community Service

Over the years, Marine Corps JROTC Cadets have volunteered countless hours of community service to their surrounding communities.  Cadets have volunteered their time to assist food banks, remove litter in the community, visit the elderly and the sick, and in a multitude of other capacities.  MCJROTC Cadets conduct community service as a part of their MCJROTC education while contributing to their own development as citizens of this democratic society. Marine Corps JROTC cadets support many volunteer and non-profit organizations, including the American Cancer Society, Habitat for Humanity, the March of Dimes, the Red Cross, and the Salvation Army.

Field Trips

Marine Corps Junior ROTC units are provided an opportunity to conduct field trips on a biennial basis. These trips enable MCJROTC instructors to take their lesson plans outside of the classroom and apply them to authentic situations.  Cadets are presented with leadership challenges and mentored by their instructors throughout the learning experience.  At the same time, Cadets gain a unique perspective of today’s military by conducting a variety of team building and confidence strengthening events.  Field trips continue to be a very popular portion of the MCJROTC curriculum.
