Leadership Training Focus
Every year our cadets participate in training opportunities such as scuba, field and medical training, photojournalism, military police science and sailing. When cadets join the U.S. Naval Sea Cadet Corps, they embark upon a path of lifelong leadership. The program will teach them how to lead groups of their peers successfully and will also inspire them to become leaders in their schools and communities.
Our Navy Heritage
Cadets will encounter various naval customs and traditions, including using a vocabulary rooted in the long and rich history of ships and the sea. Shipboard terms are often used at land-based facilities where cadets drill.
Sea Cadet Core Values
Honor, Respect, Commitment, and Service
