Outreach guidance

Paper airplanes give kids something to do at your table, and the contest, passport, and bookmarks send families home with your unit’s name, your meeting night, and a QR code.

  1. Type your unit name on the subordinate line. It goes under the CAP logo on every sheet.
  2. Add your meeting day, time, and place. They print on the airplane’s body, the passport, and the bookmarks, and the next brand tool you open remembers them.
  3. Paste your unit’s web page as the QR code link, or keep the national site.
  4. Pick a sheet to see it in the preview, and pick Letter or A4 and how much ink to use.
  5. Download that sheet, or Download All for a ZIP with one PDF per sheet. Print at 100% (actual size).

Your file is named for your unit, the sheet, and the paper, such as Texas-Wing_outreach-printables_booth-passport_letter.pdf, so it’s easy to find in your downloads.

  • Fold one of each airplane before the event, so kids can see what they’re making. Start younger kids on the Wide Glider.
  • Airplanes fold and fly best on plain copy paper. Card stock is too stiff for airplanes, but it’s right for signs, bookmarks, and winner cards.
  • Mark off a flying lane away from walkways, and ask kids to throw away from faces.
  • For a contest, tape the launch line sign at one end of the lane and the distance markers along one side.
  • Schools and libraries often print in black and white. Pick Outline only, and the sheets print as clean line art with no big blocks of ink.
  • Test the QR code with your phone before you print a stack.
  • Anything sold with CAP logos or wordmarks needs a trademark license. Talk to the brand team before you order merchandise for resale.

Sheets

Pick a sheet, a paper size, and how much ink to use.

Paper size
Ink

Outline only drops the big blocks of color and keeps the lines, type, and an outline of the logo.

Unit and message

The unit goes under the CAP logo. On airplanes, the logo and message land on the wings.

50 characters remaining

Keep it short. A web address people can type works best.

On airplanes, the meeting line prints along the outside of the body, where parents see it when the plane comes home.

QR code

A code people can scan to find your unit online.

Paste your unit’s own web page or Facebook page if it has one. Shorter links make bigger squares that scan more easily.

Where it goes on the airplane

Under the wing prints on a flap that folds flat beneath the left wing. On the tail puts it on top, at the back of the left wing.
