ABRAHAM LINCOLN DIVISION
Ahoy, and welcome to the Abraham Lincoln Division Official Website. Our drill site is at the US Coast Guard Air Station,
Group North Bend,
We drill on the 1st and 3rd Saturday of each month.
Our unit consists of United States Naval Sea Cadets ranging in ages from 13-18 and United States Naval League Cadets
ranging in ages from 11-13.
Sea Cadet organizations exist in most of the maritime nations of the world.
Recognizing the value of these organizations in educating youth in maritime matters,
the Department of the Navy requested the Navy League of the
The Navy League agreed to do so and formally established the Naval Sea Cadet Corps (NSCC) and Navy League Cadet Corps (NLCC)
in 1958.
The basic objectives of both programs are: (1) to help young Americans become more patriotic and responsible citizens,
and (2) to help young Americans understand the role of the maritime services in national defense and in maintaining
the economic viability of our nation.
On
Law 87-655 as a non-profit civilian education organization, a legal entity separate from the
Navy League. This law was later amended to permit enrollment of young women in the
Corps. The objectives and purposes of the NSCC as in this law (as amended) are:
"...Through organization and cooperation with the Department of the Navy, to encourage
and aid American youth to develop, train them in seagoing skills, and to teach them
patriotism, courage, self-reliance and kindred virtues."
Today, the NSCC has formed partnerships with organizations such as the Foundation for
Teaching Economics and the Flying Midshipman Association to offer cadets broader
opportunities in areas of leadership and aviation. The NSCC also took an active part in
the creation of the International Sea Cadet Association (ISCA). The ISCA is an
association of Sea Cadet Corps' from around the world, whose main objective is to
facilitate exchanges of cadets between member countries.
The US Navy and US Coast Guard officially support the NSCC /
NLCC for purposes of training. The Navy League of the United
States (NLUS) is the official sponsor of the NSCC / NLCC. Local
Navy League Councils sponsor individual units or where there are
no Navy League Councils, other Patriotic Organizations usually
provide sponsorship.
