You have to tailor it to your situation.

If you only accept new cadets (for example) quarterly, then go wild. But, if you accept cadets as they come, you need to make it custom to your squadron.

It's required and not an option.

Is it?  I don't see any reg stating that it's required.  Even in the new 60-1 that I believe is effective 1 MAR.

"3.1. Initiation Into the Cadet Program.
3.1.1. Cadet Recruitment. All cadet and composite squadrons must strive for positive growth, as
measured from year to year. All cadet units must conduct at least one recruiting campaign or open house
each year. Units that conduct an open house similar to what issuggested in CAPP 60-21, Cadet Great Start,
satisfy this requirement. The group or wing must provide mentoring to leaders whose units are not
showing positive annual growth."

Have you even rejoined?  Great start is a requirement.

Read the regs in their entirety.  Better yet rejoin, until then your opinion is irrelevant.

I have.  And I have.  So, I assume you can't point me to where it states that it is a requirement because that doesn't exist within the relevant regs?

Thank you.

I can't speak to the SUI checklist as I haven't come across that item yet.  But I CAN say that R52-16 does NOT state that it is a requirement.

"3-1. Initiation Into the Cadet Program.
a. Cadet Recruitment. All cadet units are expected to strive for positive growth, as measured from
year to year. All cadet units must conduct at least one recruiting campaign or open house each year. Units
that conduct an open house similar to what is suggested in CAPP 52-9, Cadet Great Start, satisfy this
requirement. The group or wing must provide mentoring to leaders whose units are not showing positive
annual growth.
b. Cadet Orientation. All units that have cadet members must follow a detailed, systematic plan for
introducing prospective cadets to CAP and transforming those young people into cadet airmen within 60
days.
(1) Prospective Cadets' Opportunities and Limitations. CAPR 39-2, chapter 2, explains what
prospective cadets may do and are prohibited from doing at CAP activities, prior to their membership taking
effect.
(2) Mentors for New Cadets. Units will match each newcomer with a mentor who accompanies
them during meetings, introduces them to the squadron, assists in their orientation and generally makes
them feel welcome.
(3) Parents' Orientation. The orientation must also include a parents' introduction to CAP.
(4) Cadet Great Start. Units that use the Cadet Great Start curriculum and Parents' Guide to
CAP satisfy the requirements of this sub chapter"

You said 52-16.  I quoted the entire section where "Great Start" is mentioned in that reg.  And it directly contradicts your opinion and belief. 

Again, show me where written regulations substantiate your claim.  Until then, improve your reading comprehension skills.

My comprehension skills are fine snowflake.  It's in the reg, it's in the pamphlet and it's inspectible.  So go back to your corner read them in its entirety and then come back to play.

Just read through the SUI worksheets.  No requirement there, either.

I'm fishing for a mermaid.  :)

I've read all of the CP related Forms, Pamphlets and Regulations.  Including the current versions and the pending new versions that are available.  I've read the regulations and the worksheets that you referred me to.  I am not seeing anywhere that Great Start is required.  Maybe you're wrong?  Hmmmm... Imagine that.  And even if you ARE wrong, you're a non-snowflake "man" so you'd never admit it.

Let me know when you have something of value to add to the conversation.

You are mistaken. Great Start is not required. Not in CAPR 52-16 and not in the new CAPR 60-1.

Wow, go away for my meeting, and look what I come back to. Now I need another beverage to settle down.

If y'all want to have a body part measuring contest, or a urinating competition, take it elsewhere, as suggested above.
