AFA's CAP Outstanding Squadron Cadet Recognition
The Air & Space Forces Association Education Division Recognizes Outstanding CAP Cadets with the “Civil Air Patrol Outstanding Squadron Cadet of the Year Award”
The AFA is proud to support the accomplishments of cadets at the grassroots level with a CAP cadet award package that includes a silver medal accompanied by a sky-blue ribbon and a downloadable certificate.
Each year, between 1 December and 15 January, each squadron may submit a request to afa@capnhq.gov for an award package to present to one outstanding cadet. (If late, do not worry, a request will be honored for your squadron.)
NOTE: The award will be for the year in which the January date falls.
See list of award requests for the 2023 awards- HERE.
2024 award request list will be posted in January 2024 (and throughout 2024).
