U.S. NAVAL SEA CADET CORPS TRAINING PROGRAM

Abstract

The USNSCC program consists of young men and women in two separate age groups, the Naval Sea Cadet Corps for ages of thirteen to the completion of high school, and the Navy League Cadet Corps for ages ten to thirteen. USNSCC provides a drug-free, alcohol-free, tobacco-free, and gang-free environment that benefits both the Navy and our nation’s youth. The program supports thousands of cadets and adult volunteers in almost 400 units nationwide, to include Puerto Rico and Guam. In close cooperation with the U.S. Navy and the U.S. Coast Guard, the USNSCC provides an opportunity for today’s youth to learn maritime subjects and to sample military life and career fields. The cadets gain an appreciation for and receive instruction in U.S. Naval history, customs and traditions, leadership principles, military drill, water safety and boat safety, which help build a sense of patriotism, courage, self-reliance, commitment, confidence and pride in our nation.
