Twin Cities Squadron is a US Naval Sea Cadets Corps unit in St. Paul, Minnesota. We are a non-profit youth-development program for male and female US citizens ages 11-17. Our mission is to provide American youth mental, moral, and physical training through naval related instruction.
Our cadets are instilled with a sense of patriotism, duty, self-respect, and respect for others. Our program is entirely drug-free and gang-free, and is staffed by unpaid adult volunteers. Naval Sea Cadets are authorized to wear the US Navy uniform.

Twin Cities Squadron drills at the Ft. Snelling Navy and Marine Corps Reserve Center one weekend per month. In addition to monthly drill weekends, we participate in parades, training events and field trips, fundraising activities, and social events throughout the year. Cadets also attend summer trainings on real military bases and ships each summer. There is also an international exchange program where we train with cadets from other nations.

Sea Cadets does not entail any type of military obligation, but it’s a great way to “test drive” the Navy. If cadets pursue a career in the military, they may compete for officer commissioning programs or they may enlist at an advanced pay grade in any branch of the military. College scholarships are also available to eligible cadets. Take a closer look and see if you have what it takes to Test Your Limits.
