Who We Are: Anoka Composite Squadron – Civil Air Patrol
Training the Future Leaders of the World
Our cadet program, at its very basic level, is the foundation of leadership development. Cadets in our program learn not only the discipline, drill and ceremonies and customs and courtesies that make us part of the US Air Force Total Force. They learn to lead themselves to their goals. They learn to lead others through servant leadership.
Leading the Way in STEM Exploration and Career Discovery
Our aerospace education mission is broad and covers all STEM topics. Anoka leads the way, incorporating STEM kits like hydraulic engineering, rocketry, robotics and remote control aircraft. We proactively seek out opportunities to interact with agencies like NASA’s Jet Propulsion Lab. We’re in the forefront of developing and introducing a small UAS (unmanned aerial system) program. Anoka fields a CyberPatriot team each year where cadets can learn the basics of cyber security and compete with other youth nationwide. Across all of our STEM topics, we infuse STEM career exploration so our youth can see the possibilities.
Serving our Community through Emergency Services and Disaster Response
All adult and cadet members are able to be certified to be on emergency services teams that collaborate with local emergency response organizations. Our members can assist with missing person or downed plane searches, natural disasters as well as take part in multi-agency preparatory exercises.
Upcoming Meetings
Anoka Composite Squadron meets weekly on Tuesdays from 1830-2100.
Our squadron building and base of operations is located on the east side of the Anoka-Blaine Airport (Jane’s Field.)
