Who Are We? & What We Do
The Sea Cadets is a nationwide voluntary youth organisation, open to young people aged 12 to 18 and with Junior Sections open to those of 10 to 12 years of age, run by enthusiastic adult volunteers.
If you're out to enjoy life as much as possible, this is the place for you! Fun, friendship, adventure and learning new skills is what we're about - based on waterborne activities, but with lots of other exciting things to learn and do on land as well. Have a look and see what you could be getting involved in.

Sea Cadets
The Sea Cadets aims to provide young people aged 12 - 18 with an environment in which they can choose what they learn from a wide range of stimulating subjects and have fun while doing so.
The Cadets start with the basic syllabus learning about life skills and general knowledge that will help them progress in other areas including the history and the traditions of the Sea Cadets and the Royal Navy.
Topics that Cadets can expect to learn in their Unit during their basic training include:
• Parade training
• Fire prevention
• Ship's routine
• Basic seamanship and boatwork
• Physical training
• First Aid
• Safety within the Unit
A wide variety of other subjects are also available, both on the water and on dry land. All Cadets learn about the Royal Navy, Merchant Navy and other sea services. Courses are available in anything from rock climbing and shooting, through IT and communications to music and cook/steward. While some subjects are taught in the local Units, others involve courses at our training centres, which can be found all over the country.
Sea Cadets can also work towards qualifications in a variety of physical and practical subjects including:
• Swimming
• Climbing and abseiling
• Diving
• Meteorology
• Marksmanship
• Music
If the Cadet is keen, there’s no limit to what they can achieve. Most offshore training can be credited towards maritime qualifications including, once cadets are 18 years old, the coveted Yachtmaster award.
If you're aged 12-18 and like the look of the activities we have to offer, we'd love to meet you.

Junior Cadets
If you're aged 10-12, then we'd love to welcome you into one of our Junior Sections.
Junior cadets have loads of fun and participate in so many activities that it would make your head spin. The training is centred around projects which vary from building models and studying the environment, to using semaphore (sending messages by visual signs) and bandaging one of the instructors (though not necessarily at the same time)! Then there are plenty of activities to have a go at such as sailing, canoeing and sports. You may be able to visit some Royal Navy ships and different places of interest, as well as other Sea Cadet Units.
Once a year Juniors hold their National Camp and you meet Junior Cadets from all over the country and have a really great week, full of fun. We organise visits to different places, swimming, abseiling, badge making, sailing, power boating, competitions and even an It’s A Knockout competition. (This is great because you get to make all the adults very wet!!!). There is a special dinner with VIP guests and the whole week is finished off with a disco.
So, don’t stand on the sidelines and watch, come and join us, you never know, you might enjoy it!!!

Sea Cadet Training Centres
Although much of a Sea Cadet’s career is spent at their local Unit, we also have a number of training centres spread all over the country where Cadets and adults alike can go for specialist training and residential courses.
In a typical year, Sea Cadet training centres deliver an average five days of training for every Cadet in the country, which means that every Cadet should get the opportunity to spend some time each year in an exciting new environment, learning valuable skills, meetings Cadets from all over the country and making new friends.
National training centres are located across the Country from Scotland to Cornwall so everyone should be within easy reach of one of our training centres. Topics taught range from management and leadership, through marine engineering and firefighting to IT and full-bore shooting (though not necessarily at the same time!). Many centres also offer expeditions and, of course, boatwork.
