National Cadet Special Activities

Since it's inception in 1941, The Civil Air Patrol has held the mission of working with young men and women as one of it's highest.

During World War II, many American youth desired to do their part in a growing aerospace community, and joined CAP to learn the fundamentals of leadership and the values that have been a cornerstone of our nation.

Today, through military and aerospace education, CAP cadets are still learning the core values that help them develop as responsible citizens for the U.S. Air Force and the nation:

Integrity, Volunteer Service, Excellence, and Respect.

Civil Air Patrol's cadet program is designed for youth age 12 (or attending the sixth grade) through 20 years old. The program offers a wide-range off opportunities including Air Force Orientation schools, The International Air Cadet Exchange Program, and Flight Encampments were cadets earn their wings as a solo pilot!
