Massachusetts Bay Division depends on the generosity of our families and the community.  We try to keep our enrollment fees as low as possible, but we have expenses!  We are constantly purchasing new uniforms to replace old and worn ones, and our training program often requires travel in and around the Boston area.  Each year, we have a firearms qualification shoot, and the costs of that are usually borne by the families in addition to their dues payment.

Our volunteers are unpaid (our compensation is seeing our cadets grow!), and we keep our administrative expenses to a minimum.

In 2008, a donation by the Mackay family allowed us to purchase Color Guard gear.

In 2009, we received a major gift, allowing us to purchase a refurbished school bus for the unit.

As you can see, these donations go a long way.  Please consider a gift of any amount if your resources permit.

We also accept uniform donations. The Cadets wear the same uniforms as active military. Please click here for uniform donations.
