CADETS
Sea Cadets are young men and women aged 10 through the end of high school who choose adventure, seek challenges, and step outside of their comfort zones. There are two programs within Sea Cadets. The Navy League Cadet Corps (NLCC) is for middle school students aged 10 to 13. The Naval Sea Cadet Corps (NSCC) is for ages 13 through the end of high school.
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.
ADULTS
Our adults guide our cadets towards a future filled with adventure, leadership, teamwork, knowledge, and friendship. Join us on our mission to build leaders of character.
A volunteer must possess good moral character, a sound mind, and be capable of credibly communicating our Sea Cadet core values to our cadets. Each adult must be a U.S. citizen or legal permanent resident, free of felony convictions, and will undergo a background investigation during the enrollment process.
OFFICER CORPS
Ranked Officers allow us to create structure for our cadets similar to the Sea Services. Volunteers may elect to wear modified Navy uniforms.
MIDSHIPMEN AND INSTRUCTORS
All new Sea Cadet volunteers will enter as either a Midshipman or Instructor.
AUXILIARY
The Auxiliary is intended for adults who wish to make a limited time commitment to the Sea Cadets or perform limited duties.
