Greetings
I had a great meeting today (January 17, 2016) with the staff of the Pittsburgh Battallion of the Naval Sea Cadet Corps. This is a great organization sponsored in part by the Pittsburgh Council of the US Navy League. Because of recent changes in the security measures at their old location (Marine Reserve Building) they are seeking a new home in the Pittsburgh Metro Area. This program is a positive program for young people that supports leadership development, personal growth …and service to the community.
The kids learn about inner discipline while they learn about first aid, search and rescue, real world problem solving skills in a setting that is both fun and challenging.
So the challenge will be to find a facility willing to host the group on its drill weekends (2 days a month) and training events for the combined units from Pittsburgh Erie and perhaps some of the local JROTC groups. Funds are limited since the money raised goes towards uniforms, materials and supporting kids with limited incomes. Looking for ideas … Thanks
