US Naval sea cadet corps

The USNSCC was formed in 1958 by the Navy League of the United States, in response to a request by the Secretary of the Navy as part of the Navy’s efforts to create a favorable image in the minds of American youth. In 1962, the USNSCC was federally chartered with the passage of Public Law 87-655, codified at 36 U.S.C. § 1541. In 1976, the charter was amended by Public Law 93-504, which permitted young women to enroll for the first time. Today, our program is proudly diverse and representative of the many hundreds of cities and towns across the United States and territories that we serve.

The mission of the USNSCC is to create leaders with character.

The Sea Cadet Corps is comprised of two programs:

     *The Naval Sea Cadet Corps (NSCC) - ages 13 through completion of high school

     *The Naval League Cadet Corps (NLCC) - ages 10 through 13
