There are two programs within Sea 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.
Who are the Sea Cadets?
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.
Navy 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.
Adirondack Battalion
The Adirondack Battalion is a Sea Cadet unit in the U.S. Naval Sea Cadet Corps. The United States Naval Sea Cadet Corps (USNSCC) is a youth Leadership Development Program Sponsored by the U.S. Navy. Our mission is to build leaders of character. We do so by offering America’s young men and women hands-on and experiential training in partnership with the Navy and its sister services, in order to instill the highest ideals of honor, respect, commitment, and service.
