MISSION STATEMENT
"...through organization and cooperation with the Department of the Navy, to encourage and aid American youth to develop, train them in seagoing skills, and to teach them patriotism, courage, self-reliance and kindred virtues."
- NSCC Charter - 36 USC 1541
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 United States 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).
WHO ARE WE?
For over 40 years the Naval Sea Cadet Corps- Houston Division has been committed to providing area youth with a drug and alcohol free evironment while teaching leadership abilities, broadening their horizons through hands-on military training, and guiding them to becoming mature young adults. We drill 2 days a month at the Joint Reserve Center at JRB Ellington Field, in congruence with the Navy Operational Support Center's (NOSC) drill schedule. Cadets are in Navy uniform and are expected to learn and maintain Navy etiquette while advancing in rank via Navy rank exams and required summer trainings conducted on military bases throughout the U.S and cooperating countries. There are a multitude of summer training opportunities, begining with Boot Camp, that a cadet may choose to attend in order to facilitate rank advancement. Some of those include Aviation, Markmanship, Port Operations, EOD, SEALS, Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC), Electronics, Mine Warfare, Submarine Seminars, among several others. Many of our cadets have been accepted to our country's military academies, attended colleges on ROTC scholarships, and enlisted in one of the branches upon graduation from high school. Succesful graduation from the USNSCC program or acheiving the rank of Eagle Scout will afford a Navy recruit advancement to the rank of Seaman (E-3) upon graduating from Navy Boot Camp in Great Lakes, IL.
