BECOMING A MEMBER
Membership Begins with a Visit to Your Local CAP Squadron

Interested in joining Civil Air Patrol?
 

While we welcome pilots, you don’t have to be a pilot to join. CAP offers many avenues of volunteer service, including emergency services, training and mentoring for cadets, and aerospace education. We also need volunteers for community outreach, media relations and administrative responsibilities.

CAP has more than 1,700 squadrons throughout the nation. We suggest you visit us during our regular meeting time. All squadrons are different in personality and focus, so look for the one that most closely matches your interests.

Nearby squadrons are; Couer d'Alene, in Idaho, Fairchild, which meets on Fairchild AFB in Washington, and this squadron- Spokane which meets at Felt's Field.

You must be at least 18 to join CAP as an adult member. National dues are $35 per year, ($25 for cadets) plus region and wing dues that vary in cost. See your local commander for details on dues for your unit. For the protection of our cadets, prospective Adult members must undergo a fingerprint screen and background check.

If you’re interested in joining CAP’s cadet program, you must be between 12 and 21 years old. You can get a good idea of what cadet membership is all about by visiting the composite squadrons (cadets and Adult) in your area.

For a good ongoing sense of what CAP units are doing throughout the country, you can check out CAP News Online.

We are glad you are ready to serve your country and your community with us. To find the unit nearest you, please use our CAP Unit Locator. Of course, you can always dial our toll-free membership info hotline: 800-FLY-2338.

Our local Phone Number (Spokane squadron) is: (509) 534-6660
