Our Story

Effingham Cadet Squadron fulfills the CAP missions of youth development and aerospace education as directed by Congress. Through that, we provide the community with development of America's youth as future leaders. No other youth organization gives their members the chance to grow and learn through hands on action in their own home area. "Citizen volunteers serving America."

In January 2007, the need was identified for a unit located between Savannah and Statesboro in the Effingham area. The charter of GA-453 was granted by National Headquarters to Georgia Wing to form the squadron. Since then it has been the training ground for many Cadets who have gone into the military, business, and public service. As of December 2017, the unit is growing both as a Cadet training unit and to support local, state, and federal authorities in emergency services for events that impact our communities, state, and nation.
