Manatee Division drills at Coast Guard Station Yankeetown, in Yankeetown,
Florida, on the second weekend of each month. The Sea Cadets are for youth ages 13
through 17 years old. We also have a Navy League Cadet unit for youth ages 11 through 13
years old.
We provide a fun and challenging environment that is free of drugs, alcohol,
tobacco, and gangs. Also, develop leadership abilities and broaden Cadets’ horizons using
hands-on and self-paced training. They are guided to become mature young adults whether
they decide to join the military or not. For those that choose to join the Navy or Coast
Guard, the education and training they receive will help them obtain advanced rates if they
enlist. Some other branches also award advanced placement. Please come visit us at our
drill.
