USNSCC is comprised of two programs. The Naval Sea Cadet Corps (NSCC) program is for young people ages 13 through the completion of high school. Also included under the USNSCC umbrella is our junior program the Navy League Cadet Corps (NLCC), for young people ages 10 through 13. 

After enrolling in the program, all Band of the West cadets may attend basic training (Recruit Training for Sea Cadets and Orientation for League Cadets). These training sessions are taught across the country during winter and summer breaks. The curriculum of this training is approved by the U.S. Navy and standardized at all training sites. Cadets receive 106 hours of instruction with a focus on the core values of honor, courage and commitment.
