What It Is
Every individual Cadet Unit in New Zealand has a Unit Support Committee made up of voluntary members from the community, which is often parents and relatives of cadets. This committee assists with the fundraising and the supply of voluntary labour and resources when required. The USC is instrumental to the efficient running of the Unit, working behind the scenes to enhance the experience of the cadets within the Unit.
The Unit Support Committee is a branch of the Cadet Corps Association of New Zealand (CCANZ). The Cadet Corps Association of New Zealand is the national civilian support organisation for the Cadet Corps, consisting of a National Executive Branch and individual Unit Branches.
Meetings
The Unit Support Committee meets on the third Wednesday of every month in the school year at the Auckland Army Centre from 6.30pm to 8.30pm. Anyone interested, regardless of whether affiliated with the unit or not, is warmly welcomed and is encouraged to attend. USC meetings are an opportunity for parents to ask questions and learn about the activities and ideas being planned for the cadets within the Unit.
