U.S. Naval Sea Cadet Corps - Torpedo Squadron 8 - Wilmington, NC The USNSCC unit serving New Hanover, Onslow, Pender, Brunswick, and Bladen county Cadets are welcome to join at this time.

The leadership of the Greater Wilmington Area Naval Sea Cadet Corps is welcoming new cadets to provide them with a unique opportunity to participate in one of the most unique and respected youth organizations in the United States. The US Naval Sea Cadet
Corps is a not for profit organization with over 7,000 Sea cadets participating in over 370 units across the country (ages 10-17). Chartered by a

n Act of Congress and operational since 1962, the US Naval Sea Cadet Corps is a unique organization for youth, providing exceptional educational experiences, sometimes on board naval ships and at various naval and Marine Corps facilities. A new Naval Sea Cadet unit is now operational in the greater Wilmington area to serve Wilmington, Jacksonville, Brunswick, New
Hanover, Pender, and Onslow Counties. Parents are also welcome and encouraged to participate as auxiliary members and may join the officer corps. The US Naval Sea Cadet Corps works with the Navy, Coast Guard, and Marine Corps to encourage and aid American youth to develop
an interest and skill in basic seamanship and in its naval adaptations, to train them in seagoing skills, and to teach them patriotism, courage, self-reliance and kindred virtues in a drug-, gang- and alcohol-free lifestyle. A Naval Sea Cadet does not have to plan to join the military to participate but if they advance in the program, they are eligible for advanced pay grades when they join the military - just like JROTC. Nearly 12 percent of incoming Naval Academy Midshipmen were former Naval Sea Cadets. The United States Naval Sea Cadet Corps is a nationally recognized 501 (c)(3) organization and you may learn more about the Naval Sea Cadet program at the national website, www.seacadets.org.
