Youth-Cadet

Would you like to honor and serve America?
 
Do you want to prepare for your future while making new friends?
 
Then rise to the challenge of cadet membership in the U.S. Air Force Auxiliary, Civil Air Patrol.

The CAP Cadet Program is a year-round program where Cadets fly, learn to lead, hike, camp, get in shape, and push themselves to new limits. If you’re dreaming about a career involving science, technology, engineering, math, aviation, space, the military, or just about anything that involves leadership skills, then CAP’s Cadet Program is for you.
 
To become a cadet, you must be be at least 12 years old and not yet 19 years old.  Our squadron meets every Monday evening from 6:30 pm to 9:00 pm and one Saturday per month (on average) and cadets also have opportunities to attend leadership encampments, career academies, and other activities during the summer.
