What are some of the ways the Navy League supports the sea services?
At the local level, Navy League councils sponsor activities to help boost morale and extend appreciation by adopting ships, units and installations; providing recreation equipment and library books for deploying ships; hosting port welcomes and holiday celebrations; presenting awards to outstanding members of the sea services. Nationally, the Navy League presents scholarships to children of sea service families; organizes the Naval Sea Cadet Corps, a leadership program for youth that currently has about 10,000 youth enrolled across the country, and in Guam and Puerto Rico. It publishes Sea Power magazine, and sponsors the annual Sea-Air-Space Exposition. The Navy League provides educational opportunities for the public to learn about the sea services. Additionally, it works to educate elected officials about the needs of the sea services and how critical they are to national security, safety and the global economy.
