The Junior Cadet Leadership Challenge & STEM Camp
JROTC Cadet Leadership Challenges are Brigade-level events for Army JROTC Cadets that take place across the world. JCLCs are typically held at Boy Scout camps or military installations. JCLCs are beginning to incorporate STEM activities as part of the camps.
Summer Camps
Summer camps can be a fun way to keep kids engaged after school. Army JROTC summer camps can include activities like the Confidence Course, Teamwork Development Course, archery, canoeing, and Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) activities.
STEM Camps
STEM camps, such as the STEM Day camp at Fort Custer Training Center in Augusta, Michigan, can help cadets improve their grades, ACT/SAT scores, and attendance and graduation rates.
JROTC programs can help enhance college applications and scholarships.
DRILL TEAM
Exhibition:
Exhibition Drill consists of cadets doing anything that they want in a designated area while using demilitarized weaponry to perform various maneuvers. They are free to do whatever they want if it is done militaristic fashion. Throughout a 6- to 9-minute performance, the weapons are thrown, spun, and exchanged.
Regulation:
Regulation Drill is when each team's cadets march around a designated area, executing a set of commands. It includes both armed and unarmed groups. While marching, the armed formations use rifles and perform a variety of moves. Weapons are not used by unarmed formations.

RAIDER TEAM
The Raider Team is the most physically demanding team in JROTC. It consists of an obstacle courses that teach you to work with a team and discipline yourself to not give up. The Raider Challenge is held outdoors usually in a (PT) Physical Fitness Cadet Uniform or (OCP) Operational Camouflage Pattern Uniform. During the event you will stick with your teammates to complete all obstacles for the fastest time possible. The course will change and be different each place you go to, but usually consists of some kind of run somewhere within the course.
AIR RIFLE
The National Air Rifle Championship
All JROTC Units that are eligible to compete in air rifle marksmanship are invited to participate in the JROTC Air Rifle Postal Competition. The JROTC Postal gives all Cadets who participate in air rifle marksmanship an opportunity to experience a National-level competition, fired at their unit’s home range. In addition to providing your unit with a National ranking, results from this competition will be used to select the JROTC unit teams and at-large individuals that will be invited to participate in the Regional JROTC Service Championships. Teams/individuals may then qualify to compete in the National JROTC Championship.
