Welcome
to the website of the Netherlands Sea Cadet Corps (NSCC).
The aim of the Sea Cadet Corps
of the Netherlands is to arouse interest of young men and women between
the age of 9 to 24 years in all the nautical world has to offer. They
learn respect for water and the sea, to enjoy the waterside and to
notice career opportunities in any of the maritime branches. The
organization maintains close contacts with the nautical stakeholders as
nautical colleges, the Royal Netherlands and merchant navies, inland
shipping organizations and supporting and service branches.
The activities of the 18 corps focus on weekly meetings on the training
ships that each corps owns. On board these ships, varying from Rhine
barges to former pilot boats and decommissioned
navy vessels, the cadets learn many aspects of the nautical world. As
crew members they take the ships out to sea and the inland waterways and
are able to qualify in many nautical skills and develop themselves in
confident young people capable of accepting full responsibility in
challenging situations. Many continue with a nautical education and find
employment in the maritime sector of the Netherlands, making their
hobby also their work!

an opening for a maritime future!
