Thousands of young people have their
first orientation flights through
the cadet program, and hundreds have
soloed in gliders and powered
aircraft. Tens of thousands have
attended CAP encampments throughout
the Nation. At a national
encampment, CAP cadets gather from
throughout the Nation. They may
learn techniques for search and
rescue and disaster relief, sample possible career choices by
studying with a university
engineering or technology
department, or learn teamwork
and leadership through competitions
in problem-solving and physical
endurance.
Cadets can enjoy overseas travel
through the International Air Cadet
Exchange, and CAP families can
welcome foreign exchange students
into their homes here in the States.
For non-CAP members, the CAP School
Program fills the gap between
elementary school DARE and high
school ROTC. CAP members, including
cadets, volunteer their time in
public schools, teaching respect,
manners and personal accountability
in a drug-free environment.
 The
Civil Air Patrol builds strong
citizens for the future by providing
leadership training, technical
education, scholarships, and career
education to young men and women,
ages 12 to 21.
The
Civil Air Patrol offers more than
$200,000 in college scholarships
each year, and about 10 percent of
each year’s freshman class at the
U.S. Air Force Academy is comprised
of former CAP cadets.
Currently, our squadron has one group of cadets. Our cadets meet in Hays County - Wimberley, Texas. Please see this link for more information. Cadet Meeting Location . |
