United States Naval Sea Cadet Corps
Not for Self, but for Country
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.
Annapolis Division provides cadets with opportunities to grow as leaders while developing confidence, discipline, and lifelong friendships through hands-on experiences.
Learn to lead with confidence through increasing responsibility and teamwork.
Experience hands-on seamanship, navigation, and naval traditions.

Build friendships that last a lifetime.
At Annapolis Division, we believe leadership is earned through discipline, service, and example. Every cadet is challenged to grow as a leader while supporting the success of the team.
Our culture is built on high expectations, personal accountability, and a commitment to excellence. Whether in uniform, in the classroom, or in the community, our cadets strive to represent the Corps with pride.
Not for Self, but for Country
