9 'M N O x f SEA CADETS For almost as long as the Bryce Canyon Sea Cadet Division has been in existence The San Fernando Valley Council of the United States Navy League has been act- ively supporting it. The following material describes what a young person can experience as a sea cadet and the pictures on the following pages depict the actual experiences some of the sea cadets who belonged to the Bryce Canyon Sea Cadet Division participated in while journeying with U. S. S. Norton Sound. For a special group of young men between the ages of 14 and 17, there is a.pro- gram designed to teach first hand experience in Navy life. This special group is chosen by their desire, willingness and ability to pass written and physical tests and to work together as a disciplined unit while building their individ- ual strengths and capabilities. 'They must maintain a C grade point average in school, be recommended by their high school principals and have the approval of their parents to join the program. Once they have established their eligi- bility, they can become Sea Cadets. The aims and purposes of the Sea Cadet Corps are: To develop interest and skill in seamanship and seagoing disciplines. To inculcate in cadets a sense of patriotism, courage, self-reliance and confidence, thereby molding good moral character and citizenship. To help the cadets understand Navy customs, history and traditions. To raise the prestige of a military career and help build potential seamen. Entering the program enablesthe young men to become part of a group dedicated to the above principles. The program which is federally chartered and jointly sponsored and administered by the Navy League of the United States, is supported by the Department of Navy. There are units in many areas of the United States and interaction between units is possible as well as interaction between the Canadian Navy which also sponsors a Sea Cadet program for its young people. The program is administered by officers who are unpaid volunteer civilians who meet the high criteria established by the Corps and the Bureau of Naval Person- nel. Many of these officers are drawn from the ranks of Reserve and retired Navymen who volunteer many hours enabling the young men to experience many as- pects of Navy life. These volunteers provide encouragement, example and experi- ence in training the young sea cadets to attempt as much as they can by expand- ing their knowledge and their physical abilities.
