Aims of the Sea Cadet Corps
The aim of the Sea Cadet Corps is to help young people towards responsible adulthood by encouraging valuable personal attributes and high standards of conduct using a nautical theme based on the customs of the Royal Navy. Through adventurous activities the Cadets become self reliant, and through teamwork they develop consideration and respect for others.
The Corps encourages high personal standards and a sense of purpose, and provides a sound foundation for future careers. The Corps provide a range of activities and skills, which are attractive and adventurous within a caring discipline to which young people can respond.
This in turn aids their development into self-confident, self-disciplined young adults and encourages a sense of responsibility to the community. It is important for your youngster, that in order to get the most out of the Sea Cadet Corps, he/she tries to take part in as many Unit activities as possible and, towards this end, your encouragement will be greatly appreciated. The Unit staff will do their utmost to ensure that your son/daughter enjoys his/her stay with us.
