Welcome to H. R. Doud Division, Saginaw MI
The United States Naval Sea Cadet Corps is a national youth organization dedicated to instilling values such as honor, commitment, courage, responsibility, leadership and teamwork. Cadets range in age from 10 to high school graduation, and there are active units in almost all 50 states. Cadets from Michigan have an opportunity to travel to other states and countries to develop and strengthen skills that they will use throughout their lives.
The H.R. Doud Division is headquartered at the Navy Operations Support Center in Saginaw, MI. Cadets travel from all over Mid-Michigan one weekend per month to participate in drill activities. During H. R. Doud Division drill weekends, cadets train in US Naval and Military Operations to include topics such as basic marching, color guard presentations, land navigation, maritime history, shipboard procedures, and uniform care.
Cadets have the opportunity to travel throughout the United States and abroad for training sessions which can last from nine days to three weeks. Each Cadet attends Sea Cadet Recruit Training as their first major training session. Cadets also serve local and state-wide communities through many community service projects. The H. R. Doud Division Color Guard provides presentations at local university and professional sporting events, festivals
and ceremonies, and organizational meetings. Opportunities are limitless for H. R. Doud Division Cadets! For more information on the U. S. Naval Sea Cadet Corps program please see www.seacadets.org.
