SQUADRON HISTORY:
		Our squadron began holding meetings in October 2006.  At that time we were an Airplane Club.  Two of our future cadets went on their airplane rides in a Cessna aircraft in November.  December saw five of our students marching in the Huron Christmas Parade.  We were chartered on 22 February 2007 by the Civil Air Patrol and we became the first School Enrichment Program (SEP) unit in California Wing.  Since then we have been very active, from Rocket Days to providing aircraft security in Porterville.  Pictures of our activities can be seen on our photo page.
		Patch History:
			First Design:  This design incorporated the school colors of burgundy, black, and white.  The squadron number is at the top.  The older style propeller was chosen to link the unit with CAP's roots.  The pentagon shape was chosen as it was unique among CAP patches.
			First Approved Design:  This patch rounded the top of the pentagon.  It resembled the California Sheriff's patches.  It incorporated a modern propeller design.
			Current Approved Design:  This design incorporates books and a lamp, which are indicative of learning and education.  The patch now resembles most squadron patches in shape.  It retains the burgundy school color and the unit number at the top.
