I'm glad you're on our web site reviewing all that the Civil Air Patrol (CAP) has to offer. Not only do we provide an ongoing valuable public service through our Emergency Services and Aerospace Education activities, but we have a phenomenal program for kids from 12 to 18 called the "Cadet Program".
The Cadet Program offers many of benefits, from reinforcing the building of a strong foundation of Integrity, Honor, Respect, and Duty to Country. Your son or daughter will build friendships, learn followership and leadership skills, and even get a chance to fly airplanes! Most cadets wish they had heard of the CAP and joined earlier - I guess that says it all.
To answer a few of the most frequently asked questions:
There is no military commitment (for either cadets or adult CAP members). The CAP is the benevolent, non-combatant auxiliary of the United States Air Force
Second, it is relatively inexpensive to join ($53 as I write this message) - inexpensive, especially compared to what members get from the program.
Finally, it's easy to join and participate. Contact us (info below), or
