Everyone Learns Leadership
From the newest Recruit to the most senior Cadet, everyone learns leadership, not just a select few. Everyone works hard to build their self-confidence and teamwork skills. "Fail safely, then succeed." Our realistic, yet safe, military environment allows youth to experience how to perform under pressure. Knowing your limits, how to overcome failure with grace, and do better in the future, is one of the best things our youth program offers. |

"Anyone can play a sport or join a club. Not everyone has what it takes to be in our youth program."
This famous phrase in the U.S. Naval Sea Cadet Corps focuses on how are standards and requirements set us apart from other activities available to youth today. Youth elect to stay with us for multiple years, choose us over any sport, club, video games, even their normal friend groups, because they prefer what we offer youth instead. As one of our Falcon Division Cadets says, "I love doing something with my life that actually matters." |

A Training Standard
There are over 350+ trainings to attend annually, including medical, aviation, police/fire, special forces, cyber security, culinary, construction/engineering, and more! Our trainings consist of multiple hours per day of: team-building physical training activities and calisthenics; close-order military drill and formation; periods of classroom, homework, and practical hands-on instruction; and military training in the field. There is no limit to how many trainings Cadets can attend!

A Fitness Standard
Based on the Presidential Physical Fitness Test in a typical gym class, our fitness standard consists of push-ups, the plank, and a 1-mile run. This standard must be passed upon enrollment and at least once every 6 months. We are very proud of our focus to the "whole person" approach of instilling the importance of a sound mind, body, and spirit. A Grooming Standard
Our grooming standard is based on the U.S. Navy's standard. This is meant to keep youth professional in appearance that will be required of them if they are to join the military or seek a well-paying job after high school. Males are clean-shaven and hair is no more than 2 inches in bulk. This haircut is often referred to as a "high and tight." Females are in buns, neat in appearance. Hair coloring be a natural color and complement the individual. |

An Academic Standard
Our academic standard is to ensure that all youth are in good standing at school. We pride ourselves for having a 100% graduation rate from high school. New Cadets must be passing, with no grade below a C-, in ALL their classes. Those who score a B (83) or higher earn recognition for their efforts. We are NOT a youth program for troubled youth. We are a youth program for those seeking more out of life than the same, mundane, day-to-day activities. While we can provide a positive and structured environment, we are not intended as a rehabilitation or intervention program for youth facing significant behavioral or emotional challenges. |
