I'm supposed to learn about dividing my sectional chart into search
grids. I have several CAP on-line publications but none show an actual
sectional. Does anyone have an online, scanned example of a properly
done sectional chart?

Robert,
Are you looking here?

The CAP grid system handout explains it....unless your Squadron is using the
old system of numbered squares. The new system is much easier and you don't
have to spend any time drawing lines on the chart....just look for the
numbers in the lower right hand corner of the grid that you are assigned,
and that's all there is to it. It's a little trickier when they say XXXXab.
There's a handout for finding that one also.
Semper vi.,
