Our Squadron At A Glance

​​The Bethesda-Chevy Composite (B-CC) Squadron has continued to train, develop, and mentor leaders of character since its inception in 1965. Currently meeting in Gaithersburg, Maryland, we are a local unit of the Civil Air Patrol.  As a volunteer organization and part of the Official Auxiliary of the United States Air Force, we are charged with the implementation of three Congressionally-mandated missions: Aerospace Education, Cadet Programs, and Emergency Services. 

Thanks to the hard work of our volunteer airmen, we take pride in maintaining our Squadron's history of excellence. In 2024, B-CC was recognized as Maryland Wing's Squadron of Merit, named Squadron of the Year for Group 1, awarded their 11th consecutive Quality Cadet Unit Award, and presented with a Squadron Aerospace Achievement Award.

As a composite squadron, our membership serves cadets (ages 12 through 20) and adult members (ages 18 and above). We meet weekly, every Thursday from 7:00 -9:30 pm), at the Montgomery County Public Safety Headquarters located at 100 Edison Park Drive, Gaithersburg, MD 20878.​Please see our calendar and meeting/event information for more about upcoming activities. If you are interested in joining our organization, we welcome you to any of our weekly Thursday meetings to observe, meet our staff, and learn more!
