You are cordially invited to attend an open house held by the United States Civil Air Patrol Frisco Cadet Squadron.

The Civil Air Patrol was founded on December 1^st, 1941, just seven days before the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor and has continued to provide civilian volunteers an opportunity to assist the armed forces ever since. Today, the Civil Air Patrol conducts nearly 95% of all search-and-rescue missions within the U.S. and Puerto Rico and assistants regularly in national and state disaster relief missions. Some more recent missions include the search for aviator Steve Fossett, disaster relief after hurricanes Katrina, Rita, and Ike, recovery of the space shuttle Columbia, and a multitude of general aviation accidents.

The Cadet Program, for youth age 12-21 offers leadership training, Aerospace Education, and Emergency Services training through a multi-faceted program. Cadets who successfully participate in the program reap numerous benefits throughout their careers including university/aviation scholarships and advanced pay grades when entering active military service. Additionally, cadets can participate actively in emergency situations, serving as radio operators, aerial photographers, and ground team members.

We would be delighted to discuss our unique program and the opportunity it will provide to the youth of Frisco with you.
