Since 1958 the Naval Sea Cadet Corps has been committed to providing American youth with a drug and alcohol  free environment to foster their leadership abilities, broaden their horizons through hands-on training and guide them to becoming mature young adults.  In other words to "Build Leaders of Character"


Sea Cadet  organizations exist in most of the maritime nations of the world.  Recognizing the value of these organizations in educating youth in  maritime matters, the Department of the Navy requested the Navy League  of the United States to establish a similar program for American youth.  The Navy League agreed to do so and formally established the Naval Sea  Cadet Corps (NSCC) and Navy League Cadet Corps (NLCC) in 1958.  Recognizing the importance and benefits of the NSCC, Congress on  September 10, 1962 federally incorporated the Naval Sea Cadet Corps  under Public Law 87-655 (36 USC 1541).
