OUR CORE VALUES
As a Civil Air Patrol Cadet of Worcester Cadet Squadron, you are responsible for learning the meaning of our Core Values, and implementing them not only at C.A.P. activities, but also in your daily lifestyle.
Integrity: Doing the right thing, even though no one else is looking. The quality of being honest and having strong moral principles; moral uprightness.
Integrity, our first core value needed if we are to uphold the value of the others. Doing good things in life, especially things that help the well being of others can have give yourself a positive image to others, and also C.A.P. a positive image if they know you are in the program. Doing wrong can have the opposite effect.
Volunteer Service: Doing things that help others without making profit.
It is part of what C.A.P. is all about. Volunteer service includes being a leader helping others reach their potential so that they too can better their community, cleaning a part of a community, doing search and rescue (S.A.R.) missions to save lives, and participating in C.A.P.’s Drug Demand Reduction program. Helping our community voluntarily can make it better for others.
Excellence: Giving your best effort to accomplish something.
Every C.A.P. cadet is expected to give their best effort in PT, living up to our core values, accomplishing tasks and missions, and anything that requires excellence outside of C.A.P. Cadet and Senior Member leaders will try their best to motivate cadets be ambitious in activities. If everyone gives their best efforts, it will make this Squadron much more exceptional.
Respect: A feeling of admiration for someone because of their abilities, qualities, or achievements.
We all have our unique differences both mentally and physically. Cadets will earn respect from their leaders by living up to the core values and helping anyway they can to make our Squadron remarkable. Leaders will earn respect from their cadets by Leading by Example, and giving their best efforts in training the Squadron to become the best that it can be.

OUR MISSIONS
Aerospace Education: One of our missions is to educate ourselves in Aerospace. Aerospace Modules, Orientation Flights, and extra knowledge we gain outside of C.A.P. are essential to accomplishing this mission.
As part of advancing your knowledge in aerospace, you’ll have the opportunity to fly in C.A.P. Powered and Glider aircraft for 10 flights (5 Powered, 5 Glider). You’ll be able to view scenic areas from a bird's eye view, such as military airports, buildings, beeches, islands, etc. In powered aircraft, your pilot will let you fly the plane from the co-pilot's seat and allow you to practice turns, stalls, ascents and descents at the price of $0.00!
Emergency Services: Thanks to the members who put an immense amount of dedication into training for ES, Civil Air Patrol’s Emergency Services program saves many lives every year from things including natural disasters and being stranded in an isolated environment. Click Here for more info.
Most Cadet and Composite Civil Air Patrol units conduct Search And Rescue Exercises (SAREXs) which can involve learning how to use a map and compass, working as a team to find someone stranded in the woods, training for searching for Emergency Locating Transmitters (ELTs), and using C.A.P. aircraft to train for searching for missing people. C.A.P. operates thousands of aircraft nationwide to assist in Emergency Services.
Cadet Programs: Civil Air Patrol offers a variety of activities for cadets, including Squadron meetings that dedicate to developing its cadets’ character, Week long encampments, Orientation Flights, having cadet leaders have a strong influence over the unit, etc. To accomplish this mission, every cadet should be active in, and have motivation to commit to cadet programs.

WORCESTER CADET SQUADRON
Every meeting, we offer cadets a challenging experience that will give them skills to prepare them for facing tasks and adversities that they may face in the future. Civil Air Patrol is not a daycare program. At Worcester Cadet Squadron, we offer a challenging experience that will test the limits of each individual's commitment to building their leadership skills and resilience to stress. We will build teamwork, moral values, and teach the importance of having discipline and paying attention to detail. In team building exercises, we will bring cadets beyond their comfort zone, erode shyness and impatience, and do things that will prove that they can accomplish things that they thought they could never do before. Cadets will be proud to share the vast leadership and moral knowledge they've learned with their family and friends to better their community.
At our Squadron activities, every member is part of one team who will try their best to accomplish Civil Air Patrol's missions. Not being team oriented is highly discouraged. Many of our activities such as rappelling, Orientation Flights, Drill and Ceremonies, Search and Rescue Exercises (SAREXs) heavily rely on everyone working together. By being heavily motivated to working as a team, cadets will feel their role in the Squadron to be more significant than if they were working in a non-team oriented environment. Everyone has a significant role, since every cadet has the potential to better their unit in a vast amount of ways physically, morally, structurally, etc. The leaders in our unit will mentor and guide every cadet to show their commitment to excellence.
If you're not able to trust and have confidence in your fellow cadets, then the team will not able to work effectively. As a leader who is dedicated to making sure our Squadron goes in the right direction, I'll strive to do my best to build trust and confidence in our team. The leaders of Worcester Cadet Squadron will encourage cadets to have confidence and trust in one another by doing team building exercises.
When you're part of the official auxiliary of the United States Air Force, you can expect to have self-discipline instilled. Discipline is defined as "the practice of training people to obey rules or a code of behavior, using punishment to correct disobedience." In order for a team to carry out SAREX missions, morals, gun safety, and even day to day tasks, our members must be disciplined. At Worcester Cadet Squadron, we will train people to discipline themselves by using team building exercises and Drill and Ceremonies.
Every member of our unit will give their best effort to uphold the Core Values and missions of CAP. Every leader will give their best effort to instruct and train their fellow cadets, even if those cadets give up on themselves.
