The Civil Air Patrol (CAP) Cadet Program mission is: To provide Civil Air Patrol with aerospace oriented programs and curricula that enhance the leadership and life skills of all cadet members and develops responsible citizens for the U.S. Air Force and the nation
Following the recent change of command in the squadron's senior and cadet program, a new team is now in place, and several initiatives are in the planning stage. Initial details of Squadron, Group and Wing events and activities for the next few months are as follows.
- Color Guard
- In January, the Twin Pine Color Guard spent a weekend practicing on a Bivouac, and were inspected and trained by the USAF Color/Honor Guard from McGuire AFB.
- In March they presented the Colors as a guest Honor Guard for an Eagle Scout ceremony at a Local Boy Scout troop.
- In April, they represented CAP at the 'Rally for the Troops' in Mercer County Park, for which they received a Certificate of Commendation from Sen. Peter Inverso.
