We are sponsored by the Navy League of the United States and supported by both the U.S. Navy and U.S. Coast Guard.

Two Programs:
The Navy League Cadet Corps (NLCC), is our junior program for youth ages 10 through 8th Grade.
League Cadets:
  • Introduced to basic seamanship and leadership skills.
  • Participate in our "drills" (meets) and attend a one-week orientation course away from home (sleep-away camp).

The Naval Sea Cadet Corps (NSCC), is our full rigor program for youth ages 9th grade through 18.
​Sea Cadets:
  • Learn, lead, and excel through our coursework, leadership development, and fitness standards.
  • Within their first year, are required to attend an age-appropriate, nine-day Recruit Training "bootcamp" with hundreds of other youth in Sea Cadets from across New England. This is an away from home (sleep-away camp) training at Fort Devens, Massachusetts.
  • Once per year, (after graduating from Recruit Training), attend a training of their choosing in over 105 different training options. These trainings are fully hands-on, immersive, and held across the country. Trainings are structured in sections of lecture, demonstration, supervised drill, and practical performance testing.​

The Goals of Our Youth Program
There are four goals that each Cadet realizes after their time with us:
  1. Develop abilities in leadership and teamwork
  2. Instill virtues of good citizenship and strong moral principles
  3. Demonstrate the value of living a life of merit
  4. Expose Cadets to a variety of career paths through life skills and hands-on training​
