About

Who We Are

As our squadron name indicates we are a cadet squadron. The designation of squadron type is a function of the Civil Air Patrol programs being administered and is directly related to the number and type of members in the squadron.

Our senior members have a variety of backgrounds and talents to accomplish our Cadet Program goals; from military service, aviation, first responder, business entrepreneurship, and more. The Civil Air Patrol National Organization provides numerous tools and training courses and mentorship to prepare us for this important role in the future of young people’s lives.

Our cadets receive training in leadership, aerospace education, and physical fitness. They also participate in a multitude of activities on both a local and a national scale, including orientation flights, encampments, drill competitions, and color guard competitions.

Many of our former cadets have put to great use the experiences they had in this unique organization to enter the military service in advanced rank, attend service academies, or just overall in general have put into practice the Core Values of Integrity, Excellence, Volunteer Service, and Respect to become great contributors to the future of our country.
