Membership is open to male and female youth, age 12 to 20. Membership applications must be filled out, and a cadet probationary period must be completed successfully. Cadet probation will start from date of first entry.  Once the below requirements are met, a Cadet can become an Explorer on a probationary status.

1.     The Cadet must be between the ages of 14 and 20.

2.     The Explorer application must be filled out and returned.

3.     An advisor must complete the background investigation.

4.     The Cadet must be maintaining a “C” average or better in school.

5.     The Cadet must have attended at least two meetings every month for the past 90 days.

6.     The Cadet must attend a one week long Explorer academy (or possibly one put on every Saturday for 8 consecutive Saturdays).  The Cadet must attend every day in order to graduate.

7.     The Cadet must not have had any in or out of school suspensions for one school year (must bring proof).  Or any other serious trouble within the school.

8.     The Cadet must have not been charged with any criminal activity or serious traffic offense for a year.

The probationary Explorer will need to comply with all Explorer policies and have no negative counseling from school, home, or Explorer meeting for a period of 90 days. Once the 90 days are completed, if the probationary Explorer has met and/or exceeded all that is expected and required of him/her, the Explorer will come off probation and receive promotion to Corporal.  Once a Corporal, the Explorer will be able to participate in any promotional processes that become available.
