Civil Air Patrol is the volunteer
civilian auxiliary of the United States Air Force. You do not have
to be a pilot, be involved in
aviation, or have any military experience to join. The cadet program
is open to boys and girls ages 12 - 18. CAP offers a wide variety of
opportunities and experiences. It is a great way to become involved
in public service, learn technical and leadership skills, meet new
friends, and just do lots of neat stuff!
We would love for you join us as a
cadet or senior member.
The 162nd Utica Cadet
Squadron meets every Tuesday from 6:30 - 8:30 pm. During the months
of July and August our meeting runs until 9:00 pm unless otherwise
stated. Our meetings are located at:
Immanuel Baptist Church
9501 Weston Rd
New Hartford, NY 13413-3790

We are in no way affiliated with the
church but they are kind enough to provide us space for our offices
and meetings. If you are interested in joining our squadron please
arrive at approximately 6:15 so we can show you around. Our squadron
requires that prospective cadets attend three meetings prior to
providing the paperwork. This ensures that you have a good idea of
what to expect from both our squadron and programs.
While not required; parents of
prospective cadets are welcome to attend the three orientation
meetings. Senior members of the squadron will be happy to explain
our goals, mission and vision and to answer any questions you have.
If you have questions you would like answered before you attend a
meeting please email us.
You can also download our
Prospective Member Package for more information and details on
what CAP is and what we are able to provide. There is also a
Parent Guide and a
Quick FAQ Sheet available.
For information on the costs
associated with membership please view our Organization Dues.
If your prospective cadet has
attended three meetings and is interesting in joining our unit
please complete the
Cadet Membership Application and have your child bring the
completed forms and required checks to the next meeting. Please
make sure you have completed the form completely.
