Local Youth Groups
Wideopen has a successful Air Cadet Squadron located behind Woodlands Hall. 861 (Wideopen) Squadron Air Cadets is a voluntary youth organisation based on and supported by the Royal Air Force.
The Squadron offers a wide range of exciting activities to young people aged 13-20 years including flying and gliding, the Duke of Edinburgh Award, BTECs in Aviation Studies, adventure training, target shooting, sports, drill and ceremonial, community activities, water sports and social activities (to name but a few).
The Squadron is a Ministry of Defence sponsored cadet organisation and receives some of its funding directly through the Royal Air Force. However, it is not a recruiting organisation for the Armed Forces and aims to improve the lives of local youth.

Famous quotes containing the words local, youth and/or groups:
“Civility, which is a disposition to accommodate and oblige others, is essentially the same in every country; but good breeding, as it is called, which is the manner of exerting that disposition, is different in almost every country, and merely local; and every man of sense imitates and conforms to that local good breeding of the place which he is at.”
—Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
“In my youth I studied for ostentation; later, a little to gain wisdom; now, for recreation; never for gain.”
—Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
“In properly organized groups no faith is required; what is required is simply a little trust and even that only for a little while, for the sooner a man begins to verify all he hears the better it is for him.”
—George Gurdjieff (c. 1877–1949)
