Who We Are
Orange County Cadet Squadron is a local unit of the Civil Air Patrol. While there are many youth oriented programs in America today, Civil Air Patrol's cadet program is unique in that it uses aviation as a cornerstone. Young people progress at their own pace through a program that includes aerospace education, leadership training, physical fitness and moral leadership.
Our Squadron is based at Stewart Air National Guard Base and meets year-round. We have weekly meetings on Tuesday evenings and additional activities on weekends and during the summer.
