LDR TEAMS
Here at the MO81st, we have several Leadership Development Requirements (LDRs), similar to some sports teams/activities that you would find at any high school!
Athletics Based LDRs
What is Drill?
Drill is like fancy walking. A drill team is a group of cadets who perform in ceremonies or competitions by demonstrating their skill and precision in the execution of specific movements following commands. Drill, however, is not as complicated as it sounds; in fact, it's easy! If you think about it like fancy walking, after all, it's a cakewalk. In other words, a Drill Team is a group of people who do drill to win competitions and show off the skills of the MO81st.

What Drill Teams are offered?
The MO81st currently only offers one main drill team which typically follows exhibition/regulation team standards; however, we are looking to expand into other teams and explore new opportunities.

What are the requirements to be a part of a Drill Team?
Only Missouri 81st cadets are allowed to be members of any drill team, however, no cadet has to be a member of a team, as it is purely optional. Having said that, drill is integral to the building of character and can effectively teach cadets to discipline if they're willing to learn it.

What is Orienteering?
Orienteering is a 'treasure hunt' like activity. You use a map, a compass, and a clue sheet to locate designated control flags for points. We compete as teams with the St. Louis Orienteering Club (STLOC) and go for fun. It is outdoors and usually takes place on Saturdays and Sundays in parks around the greater St. Louis Area. During the second semester, we take an overnight field trip to the Lake of the Ozarks for an 8 hour competition.

(Specific stipulations apply for this form of team that do not apply for others)
