New Cadet Members

If you want to become a pilot, the Civil Air Patrol is a great place to start! The CAP cadet program offers members between the ages of 11 and 18 the opportunity to participate in many national and International cadet activities. Whether you are interested in learning more about pararescue training or want to earn your solo wings or a glider pilot's license, you can do it all in the CAP.

All cadets participate in aerospace education and leadership programs, learn how to drill and can earn college scholarships. The program teaches you how to lead and you can progress through the ranks from Airman Basic to Lieutenant Colonel, running the squadron cadet program!

Because Squadron 61 is based at Camarillo, the squadron has its own airplane and regularly performs cadet orientation flights, letting all cadets take the controls and learn first-hand how an airplane flies. We also have good relationships with the military at Pt. Mugu Naval Air Station and also arrange orientation flights on C-130 Hercules, C-17 Globemaster III and hands-on M-16 rifle training.

New members should attend three meetings before applying. Visit us one Tuesday to find out more!
