I have a son who is 9 years old. I was told that CAP may have recently started some type of program for "pre-cadets"? Is there any truth to this or is it rumor?
I hadnt heard ANYTHING about this type of program.
There is something like that coming out of PAWG... It's a spin off of the CAP School Program. There was an article in the Volunteer not too long ago.

^^ It is currently only in the schools in Philadelphia. IT is going to be a "feeder" into the Middle School and CAP private school that is due to open next year.
It really could turn out to be a great program! The Philadelphia schools that have the CAP program are reporting a drop in gangs and violence. It is scheduled to be showcased on CNN in a few months.
Anyway....as for the Pre-Cadet program......it all depends on your Wing Commander. They can easily start similar programs up.
There is an article about it in the latest Volunteer.

You mean something like the BSA's "Tiger Cubs?" ???
Pretty much, though this aims to feed into the CAP middle school program.
I was in the BSA but before Tiger's ...shows how old I am. :(
