Cape Noon Optimist Club

Cape Noon Optimist presenting check donation to CAP Squadron MO-127 Commander, Capt. Christina Ragain. Civil Air Patrol has 3 missions: the Cadet Program, Aerospace Education, and Emergency Services. The Cadet Program teaches cadets (ages 12-21) about leadership, character, physical fitness, and Aerospace (including STEM and Cyber). We strive to increase Aerospace Education in our communities by providing orientation flights in single engine powered airplanes or gliders for Civil Air Patrol Cadets and Air Force ROTC/JROTC Cadets, monthly activities for cadets during squadron meetings, presentations at local schools, and providing local teachers access to STEM kits through a special membership program. Civil Air Patrol has ground and air resources and teams that perform emergency services for federal, state, and local agencies.
