Aurora Composite Squadron

Civil Air Patrol

Oregon Wing

Welcome to the Aurora Composite Squadron Website

Approximately 30 Civil Air Patrol cadets, ages 12-18, from Multnomah, Clackamas and Marion Counties attend Aurora's weekly meetings for training and activities that focus on youth leadership.

Our cadets receive structured training with materials derived directly from the United States Air Force, Military Academies, and Air Ground Schools. This program provides learning opportunities in a safe, challenging, and real-life environment. Skills are developed in teamwork, public speaking, improving study habits, organization, and task completion. Exercise is encouraged through physical training. In addition, we stress the value of America’s military, and the importance of its air-power and science programs, through our aerospace education classes.

Our ultimate goal in training these youth is to shape them into our nation’s future leaders. We desire to see them become functioning members of society utilizing themselves to their full potential. Please join us in this valuable endeavor.

Support Our Troops

dThe Aurora Composite Squadron is a proud supporter of our nation's military. Several of our alumni have served or are currently serving our country at home and overseas.

The Oregon National Guard's 41st Brigade Combat Team deployed over 3,500 soldiers to Iraq in 2009. It was the largest deployment of Oregon Soldiers since World War II and included at least six of our current and past members.

We will make every effort to assist the families of locally deployed soldiers. If you know anyone who could use our assistance, please contact Major Carl Knox.
