THE UNITED STATES NAVAL SEA CADET CORPS (USNSCC)
Navy League Cadet Corps
Our “League Cadets” are middle school-aged students who participate in our introductory program. League Cadets wear uniforms, train in a disciplined environment, and advance through ranks that mirror the Navy and Merchant Marines. League Cadets may participate in a wide variety of training opportunities to introduce them to the maritime services and a variety of career fields. There is an optional week-long “Navy League Orientation” available to these young men and women.
Naval Sea Cadet Corps
Sea Cadets are high school-aged students who participate in our advanced program. There is no requirement to have been a League Cadet prior to joining Sea Cadets. Sea Cadets wear uniforms, learn about the maritime services and a wide variety of career fields, and advance through ranks that mirror the U.S. Navy and U.S. Coast Guard.
WHAT WE DO
- Participate in a local Unit Drill: typically meeting one weekend a month.
- We have 400 units across the United States and in Guam and Puerto Rico.
- Graduate Recruit Training or Orientation (bootcamp): a fast-paced 7-14 day training focused on basic military instruction and team building.
- Participate in International Exchange IEP.
- Attend Advanced training camps every summer and winter break.
Sea Cadets instills values of discipline, accountability, and teamwork in a safe environment. We give cadets a chance to step outside of their comfort zones with dynamic challenges. We help our cadets thrive with humility and confidence.
