Want to Join the Cape May County Squadron?

The CM Composite Squadron is a local unit of the Civil Air Patrol, based in Lower Township NJ. As a composite squadron, we have both adult ''officer'' and teen ''cadet'' members who come from Cape May county. The Cape May County Composite Squadron meets every Thursday Night at the Cape May County Airport (WWD) Terminal Building, 2nd Floor, in Erma, New Jersey.

Doors open at 1800 hrs. (6PM) for Testing, Mentoring, Color and Honor Guard practice and our meetings usually close at 2130 hrs. (9:30PM).

The Civil Air Patrol is for youth 12 years old and over, including adults interested in membership.  We offer supervised programs in Aerospace Education, Cadet Programs and Emergency Services.  
 

Cape May Squadron has a proud tradition of sending many cadets to national military academies, although not all enter the service. Many of our officers are also leaders at the wing or group (South Jersey region) level. While some officers are pilots, adult members have many different professions ~ teachers, engineers, business owners and more.

Whether you're thinking of joining as a cadet or officer, we ask that you sit in on three meetings before applying for membership. By sitting in on three meetings, you will get to see a variety of pieces of the cadet or officer program. Then you can make a decision about whether CAP is something you want to commit to.

Once you have attended three meetings, we will give you all the necessary paperwork to fill out and send into CAP national headquarters. Cadet paperwork is pretty easy to fill out and the senior member paperwork is similar except for a fingerprint card that you will need to have done at your local police station..

New members receive a starter package of books for the seniors and the cadets will receive a binder with a CD that contains all the needed manuals to start the program with. Our squadron can help both officers and cadets get started with uniform items.
