Cadet Great Start

Cadet Great Start is a comprehensive introduction to CAP for new cadets. It transforms a cohort of ordinary youth into cadet airmen in 5 short weeks, while giving cadet NCOs and officers opportunities to apply their leadership skills.

The core curriculum remains useful to squadrons and their cadets, but some content is not up-to-date, as certain aspects of cadet life have evolved since Cadet Great Start was first introduced. For example, there’s no mention of the Curry Uniform Voucher, CEAP, the New Cadet Guide, or the Active Cadet Fitness Program.

Accordingly, squadron staff who want to implement the current edition of Cadet Great Start will need to improvise a bit during some lessons.

Updating Cadet Great Start is a top priority in 2022. The 2022 draft will be posted here as it becomes available.
