Responsible Citizens Through Aviation
and Leadership
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.
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.
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. They
may sample possible career choices by studying with a
university engineering or technology department. They may
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.
