Orders of Dress

Cadets are required to wear the appropriate Order of Dress for each situation, as determined by their training, activities, and events. Each Order of Dress is selected to match the environment and purpose of the activity, ensuring professionalism and uniformity. The prescribed uniform shall adhere to the standard established in the Cadet and Junior Canadian Rangers (CJCR). CJCR Orders of Dress here.

The cadet must maintain a high standard of appearance for all occasions and represent the squadron in a professional manner. Cadets are personally responsible for the cleaning, maintenance, and control of all items of uniform clothing and accoutrements issued to them. CJCR Dress instructions here.
