1,086 Civil Air Patrol squadrons and flights, read on 26 October 2026 from CAP's official unit locator. That is every unit the locator publishes in the 50 states, DC, Puerto Rico, Guam and the U.S. Virgin Islands. California has 68, Texas 67, Florida 64 and New York 56. 744 are composite squadrons, with cadets and adult members. 209 are cadet squadrons, 93 senior squadrons for adults only and 40 flights. Each row has the unit's charter number, its wing and CAP region, the commander's name (1,085 units), the unit's email (1,055), phone (847), meeting day (1,076) and time, website (629), the unit's page on the locator, the meeting address and a map point. CAP's 2025 fact sheet counts about 1,428 squadrons. This list holds the units its locator publishes. Members' home addresses are not public and are not in it.

The file has all 1,086 locations across 52 states in one download. Building the same list by searching one area at a time tends to miss places, and a missed place looks like a gap in coverage that is not really there.

## Questions

### Is every Civil Air Patrol squadron in the list?

It holds every unit CAP's official unit locator publishes in the U.S. and its territories on 26 October 2026. CAP's 2025 fact sheet counts about 1,428 squadrons. Units the locator does not show are not in the list. Eleven cadet squadrons on U.S. bases abroad are left out because they have no U.S. address.

### Who can I reach with it?

The unit, through its commander. 1,055 units have an email and 847 a phone. 848 of those emails are CAP addresses (606 on cap.gov, the rest on a wing's own domain). Members' names and home addresses are not public, so they are not in the file.

### What do the unit types mean?

A composite squadron has cadets (ages 12 to 18) and adult members. A cadet squadron is built around cadets with adult leaders. A senior squadron is adults only. A flight is a small unit that is not yet a squadron.

### How current is it?

Snapshot built on October 26, 2026. It is a one-time snapshot and is not rebuilt on a schedule.

### How is this data cleaned?

Every rebuild runs the same steps and counts what each one changed. For the current file, rebuilt October 26, 2026 from local.gocivilairpatrol.com: Merged 0 duplicate listings that had the same business name, street address and ZIP code, keeping every filled-in detail from both (October 26, 2026). Unified 27 city names written more than one way within the same ZIP code (for example with and without a space or an abbreviation) to the US Census Bureau spelling (October 26, 2026). Corrected 2 misspelled city names to the US Census Bureau place name for their ZIP code (October 26, 2026). Added map coordinates to 8 listings that had none, from the US Census Bureau address geocoder or, where the street address could not be matched, the centre of the ZIP code (October 26, 2026). Set the county and its federal county code on 1,083 listings, matched to the US Census Bureau county list from the county the source records, the listing's map point, or its ZIP code area (October 26, 2026). Checked every map point against the state in its address and re-placed 0 points that fell outside that state (October 26, 2026). Flagged 126 addresses that are incomplete, a PO box, or missing a house number, in an address quality column (October 26, 2026). Checked that the row count, state count and field completeness published for this file were measured from the file itself (October 26, 2026).

### Isn't this free on local.gocivilairpatrol.com?

The underlying records are public on local.gocivilairpatrol.com. What you pay for is the work between that public release and this file: unified 27 city spellings, corrected 2 misspelled city names, added coordinates to 8 listings, added the county to 1,083 listings, flagged 126 incomplete addresses and measured 1,086 rows. The current file was rebuilt October 26, 2026 from local.gocivilairpatrol.com. Doing it yourself means downloading the full release, repeating each of those steps, and repeating them again every time the source updates.

### How complete is each field?

Measured on every row of the current file, the share of rows that carry each key field: email 97%, phone 78%, website 58%, street address 100%, city 100%, state 100%, ZIP code 100%, latitude 100%, longitude 100%. 35 of 38 columns are filled on at least half the rows.
