The Daytona Division is gearing up to start drills this month. Parents and cadets, please check your email for any communications from the division. We have a lot of exciting updates and changes to the program to improve communication as well as the parent and cadet experience.

As a reminder, the DeLand Excellence Squadron has merged with the Daytona Division to help strengthen and widen the cadets' opportunities and experiences.

The Sea Cadet program is the Navy's youth development program for potential cadets aged 10 years (in 5th grade) through 18 years old. There is no obligation to join the military. League and Sea Cadets wear uniforms. They learn about maritime services, a variety of career fields, and effective leadership and communication skills. Cadets also have many opportunities to earn volunteer hours.

For more information about the program, please check out the Sea Cadet Program website: https://www.seacadets.org/

You can also reach out to the Daytona Division or through this page. Potential cadets under the age of 18, please have a parent or guardian initiate contact. Thank you.

The US Naval Sea Cadet Corps (Sea Cadets) is the Navy’s youth development program. Core values: honor, respect, commitment, and service.

February 2025 update

During the month of February, our cadets co-drilled with the Daytona Division. During the drill, the cadets completed a PRT assessment, training with the ERAU NROTC Midshipmen, and spent time on the COVE Ship Simulator.

The cadets also went on a trip to the National Navy Seal Museum in Fort Pierce, FL.

"The National Navy SEAL Museum is the only museum dedicated solely to preserving the history of the United States Navy SEALs and their predecessors. Located in Fort Pierce, Florida, the Museum resides on the training grounds of the original Navy combat divers, the Frogmen."
