The Naval Sea Cadet Corps was established by the Navy League of the
U.S. in 1958, federally chartered on Sept. 10, 1962, and is the
premier youth development program of the Navy League. Wearing the
Navy uniform, modified, with support from the Navy and Coast Guard,
the Sea Cadet program is designed for youth 13 through 17 years of age
and the League Cadets from 11 through 13. The goals of the programs
are:
a. To build in every Cadet a sense of patriotism,
courage and self-reliance, confidence, and similar qualities which
will mold strong moral character, good citizenship traits and a
drug-free, gang-free life style;
b. To develop an interest and skill in seamanship and
seagoing subjects;
c. To instill in Cadets an appreciation of the modern Navy
as an essential element of America's defense team; and
d. To make Cadets aware of the prestige of a military
career and increase the advancement potential of those who serve.
