SMAD Parent Auxiliary Purpose

The Parent Auxiliary exists to assist parents with their questions, concerns, or just having another parent to talk to about their Cadet's progress in the Sea Cadet Program. This support group is open to all parents. The Parent Auxiliary is made up of the READY & WILLING family members of our Sea Cadets and is one of our primary vehicles to keep our program relevant. We are also a 501(c)(3) tax exempt group formed to specifically assist in providing our Cadets with a needed helping hand by tapping into local resources.
