What is the Navy League Cadet Corps?
The Navy League Cadet Corps (NLCC) is for boys and girls, at least 10 but not yet 14 years old, who are interested in the sea
and ships, and our nations seagoing services. The Navy League program is designed to introduce young people to maritime
and military life, and to prepare them for later entrance into the Naval Sea Cadet Corps.

Like Sea Cadet units, the NLCC training ship and company has one main purpose, and that is to foster team work, camaraderie
and an understanding of the military command structure among cadets.  Cadets are instructed by both Sea Cadet Officers,
senior Sea Cadets and senior League Cadets through classroom and applied instruction in subjects such as basic seamanship,
military drill, and leadership. Each year our region holds a weekend competition named NLCC Flagship, where all the training
ships and companies in our region compete with each other to test their seamanship skills, military skills and see many other
League Cadets friends met while at summer trainings.

Training & Advancement
Navy League cadets are trained in nautical skills such as knot tying and splicing, signaling, water safety and swimming, first aid,
and even fire fighting. Cadets are instructed in military drill and discipline and are taught from a syllabus covering naval history
to ship nomenclature. Navy League cadets also tour ships and bases and participate in community events such as parades and
fairs.  In addition, cadets have the opportunity to  participate week long summer trainings held on Navy and Coast Guard bases.
Week long summer training is comprised of NLCC Cadet Orientation or "mini boot camp" for new cadets, and many advanced
trainings for senior cadets such as Aviation, Survival, Leadership, Sailing and much more new ones to come.

Taking part in the pride and honor of wearing the Navy uniform, and being apart of a fine organization gives the NLCC cadet a
sense of service. In addition, NLCC cadets who complete one year in the program, and later enter the Sea Cadets, will enter at
a higher rate. The training received in the NLCC will give cadets the experience for an easy transition to the Naval Sea Cadet
Corps as.
