New Safety Boat
Scunthorpe Sea Cadets took delivery of their new Safety Boat with a grant from Sport Relief. A grant for £8650 was awarded to us to enable us to purchase a Fun Yak 4.5 so we could provide safety cover for the cadets while they are on the water. The new boat was supplied by Morton Boats near Lincoln.
The Cadets and Staff would like to say a big thank you to Sue Fortune and her panel members for selecting our Project. This will make a vast difference in the way we can provide safety cover and the way we teach the cadets for many years to come.
The Fun Yak 4.5 came with a 30hp Outboard Engine, centre steering console, bow rails & an A frame with navigation lights.

Recruiting Now!
Scunthorpe Sea Cadets are looking for new recruits to join us.
The Sea Cadets is a Nationwide organisation, the oldest youth organisation in the world in fact. But that does not mean we are stuck in the past, far from it. Our cadets have the opportunity to learn about all aspects of seamanship, from tying knots, to handling boats - pulling, power and sail. There are opportunities to go offshore sailing, as well as a whole host of other activies, some you would expect, such as parade training, others maybe not so, such as shooting and expeditions.
There are also opportunities each year for cadets to go on foreign exchanges with other cadet forces around the world, although as you would expect, competition for these places is fierce.
As well as training activities within the Unit, we also hold weekends on board and at camps. There is also the opportunity to attend District, Area and National courses, which we obviously encourage our cadets to attend as much as possible and the range of courses available to our cadets is very impressive indeed.
There are no special skills you need to join us, we will give you those. If you are between the ages of 10 and 18 (13 to 18 for the Marine Cadets) and have an enquiring attitude that is all that is needed.
We also welcome enquiries from adults to join our ranks, after all, we need good volunteers to teach our cadets! Again, no special skills are required, just an enthusiastic approach. We would especially welcome enquiries from former members of the armed forces and their reserves, especially those of the Royal Navy and Royal Marines.
Visit the Unit on a parade night, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Friday 18:45 to 21:15. There is no committment in having a look and who knows, you may well find that you enjoy what we have to offer - We are confident that you will!

UMC
Scunthorpe Sea Cadets are run by a Unit Managment Committee, these volunteers meet every 6 weeks on a Wednesday night to discuss and make decisions regarding running the unit, from fund raising to unit repairs and get together at other times to do some of the many jobs needed to keep the unit running. The UMC are always wanting new members to join and help them make the facilities better for the cadets. If you feel you could spare some free time to help the unit please contact the Chairman, Mr Tim Clark at the unit on either a Tuesday or Thursday Evenings on 01724 853971.
