Come Visit Our Unit!

We are holding an open house on May 17 from 8:30 to noon! Come see what Sea Cadets is all about! We meet at the First Christian Church at 2010 S. Babcock Street in Melbourne. Please read the New Cadets page before visiting.

The U.S. Naval Sea Cadet Corps, for Americans ages 13 to 17, and the Navy League Cadet Corps, for youth ages 10 to 13, give young people the chance to experience life in a hands-on, real-world environment. They meet challenges and succeed!

  • Leadership
    Sea Cadets move up through the ranks and take on responsibilities of leading others and performing important staff duties.
  • Confidence
    Overcoming challenges, solving problems, and working with others build the cadet's confidence and self-esteem.
  • Self-discipline
    Cadets learn to be responsible for everything about their Sea Cadets experience, from uniforms to assignments to timeliness. Unit officers partner with the cadets' parents and the cadets to help them improve at home and at school.
  • Teamwork
    Cadets are encouraged to be positive and supportive of each other so that the entire team can grow. We work, play, win, lose, and serve together as a team. Our unit embodies the belief that we should be role models to all other cadets and young people. We do extensive community service.
  • Physical Fitness
    Cadets improve fitness levels through team exercising at meetings and individual exercising at home.
  • FUN and Adventure!
    Experiences in Sea Cadets are varied and fun! Live your dream with us.

    • The Naval Sea Cadets is unparalleled by any other youth program. Read our website to see what Sea Cadets can do for you. Accept the challenge. Join us.
