A Bivouac!! --

If you were a member of the Group II of the Maryland Wing Civil Air Patrol, you could spend the weekend of 9/13-15/2013, on a Bivouac.  Group II members, both cadet and seniors, will gather this weekend to learn, participate in various activities and have fun!!!  There will be leadership programs, individual and group competitions, emergency services training, night group search exercise, a movie night, cookout, volleyball and so much more!!  If you are not a member, you are missing out on so much!!

Would you like to honor and serve America? Do you want to prepare for your future while making new friends? Then rise to the challenge of cadet membership in the U.S. Air Force Auxiliary, Civil Air Patrol. Cadets fly, learn to lead, hike, camp, get in shape, and push themselves to new limits. If you’re dreaming about a career in aviation, space, or the military, CAP’s Cadet Program is for you. To become a cadet, you must be at least 12 years old and not yet 19 years old.  Cadets meet 2 hours per week and one Saturday per month, on average, and have opportunities to attend leadership encampments, career academies, and other activities during the summer.

Though Civil Air Patrol is known for its flying missions, CAP volunteer adult members, known as Senior Members, do so much more than just fly. In fact, less than a fifth of all CAP members are pilots or aircrew members. CAP adult members come from all lifestyles. Some are doctors, nurses, paramedics, or other medical professionals. Others are lawyers, paralegals, accountants, computer programmers, and other business professionals and executives. Mechanics, cooks, teachers, police officers, clergy, parents, really just about any career or background can be useful to and found in the ranks of the CAP adult membership. CAP supports a variety of missions that require adults from all occupations that you may not know about.  Essentially, there is a place for any interested adult to join and help CAP.

Come join us as we volunteer for America in the Civil Air Patrol, the US Air Force Auxiliary.. The Carroll Composite Squadron meets 7 p.m. Tuesday evenings at the Hilltop Assembly of God Church Hall at 30 North Cranberry Road in Westminster, Md.  Prospective cadets, ages 12-18, and their parents are always welcome. Adults seeking mentoring opportunities are invited as well.
