What is evaluated in scoring regarding cadet participation?

The evaluation of cadet participation primarily focuses on attendance because it serves as a fundamental measure of a cadet's commitment and engagement in their training program. Regular attendance indicates a cadet’s dedication to the group and their willingness to invest time in developing various skills.

Attendance is critical in structured programs like the MRB Cadets, as it allows cadets to consistently learn from and interact with peers and instructors, fostering a sense of community and teamwork. High attendance rates often correlate with better performance since cadets are able to take advantage of all learning opportunities provided.

While leadership skills, team collaboration, and communication skills are also important aspects of a cadet’s development, they typically are evaluated through participation in activities, projects, and interactions during their time in training. However, without consistent attendance, opportunities to demonstrate and grow in those areas may be limited, underscoring the significance of attendance in overall evaluation.
