In Civil Air Patrol, cadets focus on Emergency Services, Aerospace Education, Safety, Character Development, Leadership, and Fitness. As they learn about these areas, they advance through a series of achievement levels, earning honors and increased responsibilities along the way.
Civil Air Patrol has been an integral start for many astronauts, pilots, engineers, and scientists. Home-schooled cadets can even earn high school credits for their work in the program.
The open house event is a great opportunity for people who are interested in aviation or community service to learn more about Civil Air Patrol and what it offers. The event will take place at the Oak Ridge Chamber Joyce Conference Room located 1400 Oak Ridge Turnpike, Oak Ridge, TN 37830. Light snacks and refreshments are provided.
During the event, attendees will have the chance to meet with current members of the Oak Ridge Composite Squadron and learn more about their experiences in Civil Air Patrol. They will also have the opportunity to participate in various activities, including a demonstration of the squadron's search and rescue equipment, a demonstration of our aerospace education drones, and a briefing on Civil Air Patrol's emergency services, aerospace education, and cadet programs. Visitors who are interested in joining can speak to members about the application process.
