The United States Naval Sea Cadet Corps is a Federally chartered, non-profit organization sponsored by the Navy League and supported by the Department of the Navy. Sea Cadets are young people, ages 13 to 18. Navy Leaguers are young people ages 11 to 13. Cadets and adult leaders are authorized to wear the Navy uniform, appropriately modified by Naval Sea Cadet Corps insignia. The Cadet Corps programs allow young people to sample military life without any obligation to join any branch of the armed forces.
