Progressive Disciplinary Policy

There are two classes of offenses, A and B. Class A offenses are major violations that may result in immediate expulsion from the Encampment. Class B offenses are lesser infractions that may result in the assessment of lesser disciplinary action, commensurate with the offense. The Cadet and Senior Staff reserve the right to adjudicate and enforce any and all offences and the Encampment Commander’s decision is final in case of any dispute.
