Civil Air Patrol membership offers a lot of great benefits.
Not the least is getting to meet some really fine people. And that's really the
first step to joining the CAP in California. |
We recommend that you find a unit in your area, and drop in for a
visit. Use the California Units link to find the
group that serves your community, then look up a nearby squadron. You might want to
visit more than one local unit, as individual squadrons tend to have their own
personalities. For example, one cadet squadron might emphasize drill while another
might focus on aerospace education. Each unit will tailor its program to meet the
needs of the members as well as best utilize the resources available in terms of
facilities and members. |
One thing to keep in mind is that there are three types of squadrons in CAP: |
|
|
- Cadet Squadrons - Tailored mainly for the
youth program, with adults helping to run the youth program
|
- Composite Squadrons - These units feature
separate programs for youth and adults
|
If you can't find a unit in your area, contact
the webmaster stating what you are looking for, and he'll do his best to make a good
suggestion for you, and even arrange an appointment to visit if you like! |
