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 environment 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 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, beginning 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, Merchant Marine Operations, Naval Intelligence, 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. Successful graduation from the USNSCC program or achieving 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.

Medical Requirements for Enrollment
"A medical examination similar to a high school sports physical is required for all cadet applicants to the Naval Sea Cadet Corps (NSCC) or Navy League Cadet Corps (NLCC). The exam results must be completed on the authorized NSCC form and signed by the attending physician. No one will be denied admission to the NSCC/NLCC due to a medical disability. Where a medical condition precludes full, unlimited participation, a Request for Accommodation (NSCADM 015) may be presented by the parent or guardian for review so the cadet may participate in NSCC activities to the maximum extent possible.
Adult applicants must be in good health commensurate with their age group and be free from any ailment or condition that would prevent them from satisfactorily performing their primary duty of supervising youth. NOTE: Adults not physically qualified to perform all duties may still participate with a waiver from NHQ considering the parameters of their expected contribution to the NSCC program."
