Keep your kids inspired and engaged — and discover a volunteer opportunity that truly matters. Join us for the Scott Composite Squadron Open House!
Civil Air Patrol’s Cadet Program helps young people ages 12–18 build confidence, leadership skills, and a sense of purpose through aviation, aerospace education, emergency services, and character development. If your child is curious, motivated, or looking for a place to belong, this open house is the perfect way to explore what CAP can offer.
Adults are welcome too — CAP relies on volunteers from all backgrounds to support missions that serve our community, state, and nation. Whether you’re interested in flying, mentoring youth, teaching, emergency services, or supporting squadron operations, there’s a meaningful role waiting for you.
