Civil Air Patrol Cadet Program
The Civil Air Patrol Cadet program focuses on creating future pilots, while also teaching participants STEM education, leadership skills, and discipline. According to Bruce McLellan, commander of the High Desert Wing of the Civil Air Patrol, many young people join the organization due to their interest in aviation and aerospace.
A female cadet from the program is scheduled to depart next week for the Naval Academy in Annapolis. The $1,000 grant will facilitate the acquisition of necessary parts for the flight simulator, which cadets are assembling at the Bend Airport.
