What do we do?
What don't we do! Not only can we do waterborne activities such as sailing, canoeing, windsurfing, powerboating, (these qualifications are to nationally recognised standards e.g. RYA), rowing, etc., we can shoot, swim, hike, camp and fly, as well as visiting Royal Naval ships and bases, and do specialist courses in ropework, navigation, communications, engineering, physical training, and so on. As long as the insurance covers it, there is nothing we can't do.
|
Who can join?
Anyone between the ages of 10 and 18 can join as a cadet. Those who join between 10 and 12 will join as a Junior Sea Cadet and will have their own taylored training program.
|
How much does it cost?
Cadets are asked to pay a subscription of £1 per parade night that they attend which goes towards the upkeep of the unit and the equipment we use.
Cadets can also attend weekend and week long courses which will cost between £5 and £10 per night and include food, accomodation and the cost of training. These courses can take place in other units, at specialist Sea Cadet Training Centres or on Royal Navy bases.
|
Interested?
Come along to the unit during a parade night. We will make you welcome and show you around the unit, meet the staff, and mingle with cadets.
If you want to join, there is a couple of forms that your parent or guardian will need to sign (to say that you are allowed to join), so bring them along as well.
And don't worry. At some time, every cadet has had to walk through the gate for the first time, not knowing much about what we do! If you want to bring a friend, that is fine.
