REQUIREMENT: The Royal Canadian Army Cadet Expedition Programme (RCACEP) conducts Army Cadet Adventure Training Activities (ACATA) and expeditions to develop leadership skills, while enhancing self-concepts, such as self-confidence, self-reliance, self-esteem and self-discipline. An expedition is any activity that consists of dynamic travel of no less than one day in duration with an outdoor overnight component, where there is a clear goal associated with the activity. Expeditions include ACATA and inherently practice the application of skills learned during local corps training.
The development and execution of the 2018 International Expedition has been tasked to RSCU (Pac). The expedition will occur in phases - pre-expedition training, the expedition, and cultural visits.
The 2018 International Expedition - Chile is forecasted to have two (2) adult staff army Cadet Instructor Cadre (CIC) officers, and eighteen (18) youth aged 16-18 as participants. All will have a high level of physical fitness and no medical restrictions that would preclude them from participating in the entirety of activities to be conducted. At least one (1) of the CIC officers will be functionally bilingual (French-English) to account for the possibility of a unilingual participant. This requirement is for the supply of out-trip meals and the instruction and supervision of eighteen (18) Army Cadets and two (2) CIC officers.
PERIOD OF CONTRACT: The period of the Contract is from date of award to February 20, 2018 inclusive. The dates for the expedition are February 9-20, 2018.
