The Naval Sea Cadet Corps (NSCC) and the Naval League Cadet Corps are for American youth ages 10-17 who have a desire to learn about the Navy, Marine Corps, Coast Guard and Merchant Marine. Sea Cadets are authorized by the Secretary of the Navy to wear Navy uniforms appropriately marked with the Sea Cadet Corps insignia. The objectives of the Sea Cadet program are to introduce youth to naval life, to develop in them a sense of pride, patriotism, courage, and self-reliance. We foster their leadership abilities and broaden their horizons through hands-on training, and guide them to becoming mature young adults while maintaining an environment free of drugs and gangs.
