The Naval Sea Cadet Corps and Navy League Cadet Corps offer a nautically oriented training program for young Americans, ages 10 through 18.  The program allows young people to sample military life with no obligation to join any branch of the armed forces.  Through organization and cooperation with the Navy, Coast Guard, and Marine Corps, the program seeks to encourage and aid American youth to develop an interest and skill in basic seamanship and in its naval adaptations, to train them in seagoing skills, and to teach them patriotism, courage, self-reliance and kindred values in a drug-, gang- and alcohol-free lifestyle. 

The Capitol Battalion has both the NLCC and the NSCC cadets.  We believe in the ability of our youth to succeed. Our programming and activities are designed to help our cadets reach their goals and fulfill their highest potential. We are proud of all of our cadets and love watching them grow into high-achieving, confident individuals. See how we’re involved in making a difference in the lives of today's youth.

Who We Are

Naval Sea Cadet Corps

The U.S. Naval Sea Cadet Corps is a non-profit leadership development program for ages 10 through the completion of high school. We have nearly 400 units in 46 states, Guam and Puerto Rico. Our cadets wear Navy uniforms and can train aboard naval ships and on naval bases. Our compelling training program occurs around the country during school vacations and covers various careers fields. Our program changes lives by exposing cadets to new challenges and teaching them important skills like leadership and teamwork.

USNSCC is comprised of two programs. The Naval Sea Cadet Corps (NSCC) program is for young people ages 13 through the completion of high school. Also included under the USNSCC umbrella is our junior program the Navy League Cadet Corps (NLCC), for young people ages 10 through 13. ​

The USNSCC offer a variety of spring, summer and winter camp opportunities in addition to local unit meetings.  These camps are located throughout the United States for a very reasonable price.  Camp topics include Aviation, Ceremonial Guard, Coast Guard Operations, Flight Training, Law Enforcement, Marksmanship, Music, Recruit Training, Sailing, SCUBA, Seamanship, SEAL/Special Warfare Operations Training, and many more.

The senior cadet program exposes its cadets to the full rigors of a military training program. Cadets are required to attend a mandatory two-week recruit training camp. After this requirement is met, cadets are eligible to participate in a variety of advanced training sessions. These sessions serve to expose cadets to seamanship and seagoing subjects. They also focus on developing an appreciation for our country's rich naval history, customs and traditions. ​

Navy League Cadet Corps

This junior cadet program introduces its members to naval life through instruction in basic seamanship and leadership. NLCC members are able to participate in monthly drill sessions and during school breaks and in a one-week orientation class as well as in specially-designed annual training sessions. The purpose of the NLCC program is to prepare its cadets for success upon entering NSCC by exposing them to the fundamentals of seamanship and leadership. The training program is less arduous than NSCC's, but still includes a wide variety of away-from-home, one-week training opportunities designed to give cadets exposure to Navy life.
