Welcome to the Carroll Composite Squadron!
The Carroll Composite Squadron prides itself in our execution of Civil
Air Patrol’s three missions: Emergency Services, Cadet Programs
and Aerospace Education, which is evident by the Squadron
recognition as Maryland Wing’s Squadron of the Year for 2010.
As Emergency Services volunteers, Carroll Squadron’s personnel are
highly trained and ready to perform search and rescue, disaster
relief, emergency service, and homeland security missions for the
state. For example, as part of the Maryland Wing’s commitment to the
state of Maryland, Carroll Squadron conducts “Bay Patrols” over the
Chesapeake Bay on assigned weekends from Memorial Day through
Labor Day, assisting boaters if needed. This is just one of the
Squadron's missions, there are others. Please look through our
website for additional information.
Carroll Squadron’s Cadet program focuses on leadership skills,
aerospace education, and physical fitness. The Cadets are able to
participate in a number of activities, both within the state and across
the nation. For instance, the Maryland Wing Powered Flight Solo
School, the Aerospace Academy, the Cadet Survival School, the Tri-
Wing Encampment, and the National Honor Guard Academy are just
a few of the activities the Cadets can accomplish within the state.
Outside the state, the Cadets can participate in the National Flight
Academy, Cadet Officer School, International Air Cadet Exchange,
and thirty other national cadet special activities.
Aerospace Education is an integral part of Civil Air Patrol for both
cadets and adult members. Members learn about the history of flight
and discuss the future of air and space exploration. Cadets
experience the thrill of flight through both powered and glider
orientation rides where their book-knowledge of aerodynamics is
demonstrated in the air.
As you are looking through our newly enhanced website, be aware
that if you are an adult looking for ways to serve your community or a
parent looking to find something that your child can direct their focus
and energy on, there is something for you here. Please stop by and
visit us during the Squadron’s regular Tuesday night meeting. All are
welcome.
“Semper Vigilans"
