UBWC - Ultimate Bear and Wings Challenge

In 2010, cadets of the California Cadet Advisory Counsel (CAC) worked to develop an event that was not training focused but one that aimed to have cadet and seniors come together to socialize and have fun.  Through development and the years of execution, the mission and priorities of the activity have not changed.

 

Priority #1: 

For Cadets and Senior members from local squadrons to come together at a Wing level activity to socialize and have fun.  To renew relationships built at other activities and create new relationships that will last for a lifetime.

 

Priority #2: 

The competition.
