What’s the importance of having the core values?
What are the core values? Well in our leadership book volume one, it says that the core values are, “the four basic qualities CAP expects all members to display at all times: Integrity First, Volunteer Service, Excellence in all we do, and Respect.” The importance of these values, are to perfect how we act and how we look in public and in private. Without the core values CAP and the regular life of a cadet would be terribly different.
Why is Responsibility Important?
One of the most important traits a leader can possess is
responsibility. You all have control over some part of your
life, and taking responsibility to ensure it is done correctly is
important in order to keep everything running smoothly. It is
even more important as a leader when you have larger
missions and when failure is not an option. Accepting
responsibility for whatever missions you are given, and also
owning up to mistakes, is all part of becoming a better
leader. To quote “Accept responsibility for your life. Know
that it is you who will get you where you want to go, no one
else” – Les Brown
In-flight Cadets get the chance to fly in Civil Air Patrol aircraft.

Tips for the Encampment: How to Succeed
Tip #3: Stay Motivated
Motivation is one of the key elements to the
success of this year’s encampment.
Motivation comes complete with a good
attitude and a positive state of mind. Being
motivated all the time helps you and your
flight out. By being motivated, others will
also become motivated, and your flight may
win the daily Warrior Flight Award.
Motivation ensures the staff that you are
enjoying yourself, which is our number one
priority.
