2180 (Galashiels) Sq Air Cadets
On the 5th February 1941 the Air Training Corps was officially established with King George VI as the Air Commodore-in-Chief and there has been a presence in the Borders ever since. The organisation has gone from strength to strength over the last few decades. Girls were able to join from the early 1980s, helping to bring more people together to enjoy everything that Air Cadet Life has to offer and today’s Air Cadets has a lot to offer any 13- 17 year old who is interested in joining.
Today the Air Cadets is one of the largest youth related organisations in the UK. 2180 is one of the most succesful Squadrons in South East Scotland Wing.
2180 Squadron meets on a Monday & Wednesday Evening from 1845-2100 hours. We get involved in a wide range of activities from shooting to flying, sports to gliding, Duke of Edinburgh Award to rock climbing and many other fun activities.
