Parent / Guardian Portal
Introducing the Parent / Guardian Portal!
We are excited to announce the release of a new eServices feature to improve the stakeholder experience in line with my commander’s intent: the Parent / Guardian Portal. The portal has been developed as a hub for parents/guardians of cadets to help manage their cadet’s activities in Civil Air Patrol. This portal provides parents and guardians with secure access to both Registration Zone and CAP Health, ensuring they can actively support their cadet’s participation in and well-being at CAP activities.
Key features of this exciting new tool include:
-
Parent / Guardian electronic approval for attendance at events in Registration Zone. You can manage your cadet’s attendance without paper forms! These are the electronic equivalents of the paper CAPF 60-80 Cadet Activity Permission Slip and CAPF 60-81 Application for CAP Encampment or Special Activity.
-
Parent / Guardian updates of a cadet’s CAP Health profile. Activity leaders can now better understand your cadet’s health needs.
-
Parent / Guardian electronic completion of a cadet’s Over the Counter (OTC) medication digital form. This is the equivalent of the paper CAPF 163 Permission for Provision of Minor Cadet Over-The-Counter Medication, and separate from the CAP Health profile. Cadets cannot access this.
Summer NCSA/CSA/NFAs: Parent / Guardian approvals will be required for all Summer 2026 NCSA/CSA/NFA participants under 18, so if you or your cadet plans on applying for an activity when the application window opens on Monday, December 15th, please link your accounts now. Linking accounts takes no more than a minute! Parent / Guardian approvals, whether paper or electronic, will be required no later than January 18th. Only cadets with approvals on file will be slotted for activities. The Parent / Guardian Portal webpage contains instructions for linking accounts and submitting approvals. We strongly recommend you use these incredible new tools to complete the paperwork needed for your cadet to be slotted for activities, as they provide a quick, easy, and secure way to do so.

Medications not listed here cannot be administered to your cadet during activities.
