Naval Sea Cadets Unlike JROTC, however, is that Sea Cadets offer a scaled-down version of the Navy's basic training to introduce students to military drill and discipline, physical fitness, seamanship, shipboard safety, first aid, naval history, and leadership.

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. There are two programs within Sea Cadets. The Navy League Cadet Corps (NLCC) is for middle school students aged 10 to 13.

Sea Cadets is the UK's largest maritime youth charity, established in 1856 and working in over 400 units with 14,000 cadets aged between 10 and 18. Cadets learn life skills like leadership and team working through nautical adventure activities, and can earn extra qualifications which give youngsters a head start.

Does joining the Naval Sea Cadets commit my son/daughter to military service? No. There is absolutely no service obligation associated with the Naval Sea Cadet Corps (USNSCC). However, cadets who attain the rank of E-3 while in Sea Cadets are eligible to enter most of the Armed Forces branches at an advanced pay rate.

You can join as a Junior Cadet when you are 10, and enjoy summer camps and making new friends as you head towards becoming a Sea Cadet at 12, or Royal Marines Cadet at 13.
