About the USNSCC

USNSCC is a national youth leadership development organization that promotes interest and skill in Naval disciplines while instilling strong moral character and life skills through leadership and technical programs modeled after the Navy's professional development system.

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 Naval League Cadet Corps (NLCC), for young people ages 10 through 13.

We are based out of the American Legion Post 57 in Lake City, FL. Liberty Division Sea Cadets is open to young people who want to learn about our military that live in or around the Lake City, FL area. The Liberty Division Sea Cadets are taught honor, respect, and courage. The goal of the Liberty Sea Cadets Division is to teach and train the Leaders of Tomorrow. We strive to instill character and values in our local youth with the hopes that they will assume leadership roles in their future endeavors as well as lead their lives with Honor, Courage and Commitment.

Goals of our Cadet Programs

At the request of the Department of the Navy, the Navy League of the United States established the USNCC in 1962 to "create a favorable image of the Navy on the part of the American youth".

Today's U.S. Naval Sea Cadet Corps continue to further the image of our maritime services by adhering to a standardized training program designed to:

1. Develop an interest and ability in the seamanship and seagoing skills.

2. Instill virtues of good citizenship and strong moral principles in each cadet.

3. Demonstrate the value of an alcohol-free, drug-free, and gang-free lifestyle.

4. Expose cadets to the prestige of public service and a variety of career paths through hands-on training with our nation's armed services.
