Welcome to the Fruit Cove Cadet Squadron. The "Cadet Squadron of the year" for Florida Wing, Group 2 for 2021, and a squadron of “Superb Performance for the year 2021” by Florida Wing.
Fruit Cove Cadet Squadron of Florida Wing, Civil Air Patrol
Our squadron holds many different types of training events for cadets. These activities include search and rescue and emergency services training. Cadets learn how first responders work together during down aircraft incidents. Cadets learn skills they can use to take part in these events and help their community in these...
Orientation flights are a CAP cornerstone! Cadets not only get to ride in a plane, but they also follow a training syllabus that gives them an introduction to flight. They even get to take control of the plane! Under the guidance of our skilled CAP pilots who donate their time.
The squadron holds a BIVOUC, or an outdoor camping trip, twice a year. Cadets learn valuable skills in survival, orienteering, leadership, and so much more. CAP senior members also take part in these events providing training and guidance.
Our Cadets got the opportunity to have some fun together as a group at Skate Station Mandarin. We plan Saturday activities to help build team camaraderie and allow cadets and staff to build relationships that last even after a cadet leaves the squadron.
We offer field trips from time to time to allow our cadets to be exposed to different experiences that can help them explore the fields of aerospace, engineering, military, and so much more. Cadets get to see opportunities for their future through trips like this.
