   Boy Scouts of America - Aviation Explorer's Post 8 (TOP) [1075]
Welcome to the home of Aviation Explorer's Post 8, dedicated to providing the youth of our community exposure to the rewards of aviation careers. Part of the Boy Scouts of America's Explorer Scouting program, Post 8 has been introducing young people to the world of aviation for over 50 years. Young men and women, ages 14-18 learn from real world professionals, what it's like to fly aircraft. They are nurtured through a training regimen that includes a full ground school course, monthly pilot meetings with safety lectures, orientation flights and dual flight instruction, culminating with their passage of the FAA Private Pilot Practical Test. In other words, they become licensed pilots. They learn how to care for the airplane, how to keep it maintained, how to fly it in a professional manner. When finished with our program, they truly are professionals.
