Community Outreach Project 2011 is in conjunction with Red Cross Youth (RCY) Challenge 2011 and aims to create an avenue for our youths to experience giving back to the community and caring for the less fortunate. This year, the project will be held during the 3rd day of RCY Challenge on 17 December 2011 and cadets participating in the camp will be involved in the project.
