YOUR NEXT THREE STEPS

Help your cadet get started

Find parent information, activity paperwork, and a clear starting point for questions.

  1. Start with your squadron and CAP’s parent information

    Your unit can explain its meeting arrangements and how to stay informed. CAP’s New Cadet Kit page links to the Parents’ Guide.

  2. Check the paperwork for each activity

    Use the activity organizer’s instructions to confirm which forms are needed, where to submit them, and the deadline.

  3. Explore opportunities together

    Find official encampment information and review the event’s own registration and preparation instructions.
