Section III. Honor Statement for the
Prospective CAP Cadet
Section IV. Parent/Guardian Authorization
As you apply for membership in the Civil Air Patrol
Cadet Corps, please tell us you're serious about being
a cadet by reading the statements below and signing
the application to indicate that you agree.
I want to be a CAP cadet. I think CAP's for me, and I'm
willing to give it a try for one full year.
I'll participate in most weekly squadron meetings and
will try to attend one 'Saturday' event per month.
I plan to attend the next 1-week, overnight summer
encampment available in my state. Most encampments
are 1-week in duration and take place in the summer or
during winter vacation. Tuition averages $200 - $300.
Local leaders will tell you more about the encampment
opportunities in your area.
If family or school obligations come up, I'll let my local
leaders know in advance that I'll be absent from CAP.
I have been assigned a mentor, an experienced cadet
who is my #1 source for information on how to succeed
in CAP. Or, if I haven't been assigned one, I'm going to ask
for one at my next meeting.
I understand that what I get out of CAP depends on
what I put into it.
As a symbol of my readiness to enter the CAP Cadet
Program, I make the following pledge:
THE CADET OATH
I pledge that I will ser
ve faithfully in the Civil Air Patrol
Cadet Program,
and that I will attend meetings regularly,
participate actively in unit activities,
obey my officers,
wear my uniform properly,
and advance my education and training rapidly
to prepare myself to be of service to my community,
state and nation.
By signing this application, I agree to the following
statements:
I approve my child's membership application for the
Civil Air Patrol.
I have personally met with the local CAP leaders and
received a basic introduction to CAP. I know CAP policies
are available to me through the CAP website, especially
the parents' home page, capmembers.com/parents.
I understand my child may be flying in CAP aircraft and
participating in vigorous outdoor activities, under the
supervision of CAP adult leaders.
I understand that by joining CAP, my child is expected
to participate in CAP for a minimum of 1 year. He or she
will attend weekly meetings at our local squadron and one
special 'Saturday' event per month, on average, but of
course school and family obligations take priority over
CAP. If we can't participate in an activity, we'll try to let the
local leaders know in advance.
I understand that my child is tentatively scheduled to
attend the next cadet encampment, which is typically a 7-
day, overnight activity conducted in the summer or during
school vacation. I will make an effort to support his or her
participation at that program. (Information about the next
encampment is posted at capmembers.com/encampment
as it becomes available. Your local leaders will also be
providing more information.)
If CAP provides my child with a uniform, I promise to
return that uniform when he or she outgrows it or decides
to leave the CAP Program.
If my child takes medication, I understand that CAP
requires cadets to be able to self-administer their
medicine. CAP’s adult leaders will not administer any
medications.
I HEREBY CERTIFY THAT TO THE BEST OF MY
KNOWLEDGE AND BELIEF THE HEALTH OF THE
APPLICANT IS AS INDICATED IN SECTION II.
