Welcome to the Annapolis Division of the United States Naval Sea Cadet Corps.
Our division is a premier youth leadership program dedicated to developing self-discipline, responsibility, integrity, and leadership in a fun, challenging, and supportive environment.
At Annapolis Division, success is earned through dedication, teamwork, and perseverance. Cadets are challenged to step outside their comfort zones, solve problems, support one another, and put the needs of the team before themselves. Along the way, they build confidence, resilience, and lifelong friendships with shipmates from across the nation.
Guided by our motto, Non Sibi Sed Patriae ("Not for Self, but for Country"), we strive to develop young men and women of character who are prepared to lead both within the Corps and in their communities.
