The Rutland Squadron Civil Air Patrol Open House is on Saturday May 13 from 10-2. The open house will be at the Rutland Airport and members will be on hand to showcase the cadet program for youth 12-18 as well as the program for adult volunteers. There will be information and activities related to aerospace education and flying, emergency services, leadership, physical fitness, and special activities. A CAP plane will also be on display along with a pilot to discuss flying in CAP. We invite the public to come and learn about the Civil Air Patrol and our mission to support America's communities with emergency response, diverse aviation and ground services, youth development and promotion of air, space and cyber power through aerospace education.

Our cadet program is really a unique opportunity for young people in the area. The program is led by cadets so leadership and mentorship are key components. Cadets can explore their interests in aviation with stem activities, orientation flights in both powered and glider aircraft, and special activities. Cadets who want to earn their pilot's license also have some special opportunities in the program. We also train in emergency services and disaster relief as well as community service opportunities. Cadets learn military drill and ceremonies and participate in physical fitness training as well.
