What types of ceremonies do NJROTC cadets commonly participate in?

NJROTC cadets commonly participate in military ceremonies and community events because these activities are integral to their training and development as future leaders. Military ceremonies often include drills, parades, and flag ceremonies, which help cadets practice discipline, teamwork, and respect for military traditions. Additionally, community events provide cadets with the opportunity to engage with the public, promote civic responsibility, and build relationships with local organizations. These experiences are valuable for character development and instill a sense of duty and service in cadets. In contrast, casual social gatherings and family meetings, regular school award presentations, and only competitive events do not encompass the broader scope of experiences that NJROTC emphasizes, which focuses on leadership, citizenship, and community involvement.
