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 Magic City Composite Squadron headquarters, located at 2400 North Broadway, Minot, ND 58703 – inside the north building at Avflight.

During the event, attendees will have the chance to meet with current members of the Magic City 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 tour of the squadron headquarters, a demonstration of the squadron’s search and rescue equipment, and a briefing on Civil Air Patrol’s emergency services and aerospace education programs.

Visitors who are interested in joining can begin their membership process on this date.
