9/21/04

Rossview JROTC Cadets Carol Rose, Ryan Grimes, John McCullom and Joe Vallely, with approximately thirty other high school students from Ohio and Kentucky, attended a Youth Leadership Conference sponsored by the Military Order of World Wars this past weekend at the Wendell Ford Regional Training Center in Greenville, KY. The cadets participated in Learning Workshops presented primarily by CMDR Jeff "Scuz" Daus and LTC Scott Quinlan, both employees of United Parcel Service (UPS) Air Cargo Division. (Other presenters included: MG Carl Black - "History of the Flag"; BG Leon Johnson - "Free Enterprise"; LTC David Thorsen - "Leadership"; and CPT Bill Dibble - "Declaration of Independence" and "The US Constitution and Bill of Rights".) The "Scuz Puppies", as they aptly named themselves, participated in learning activities centered around those subjects and others as they developed relationships with the various students in attendance. In addition to workshops, the cadets participated in Leadership Reaction Activities which focuses on the utilization of teamwork and critical thinking skills in overcoming the various physical obstacles they were presented while negotiating the Leadership Reaction Course.
