To give young people the best possible head start in life, through nautical adventure and fun
As a Sea Cadet young people flourish, learn key life skills and achieve qualifications in a range of areas, all of which boosts their confidence as they prepare for the rest of their lives. Sea Cadets offers a chance to broaden life experiences - whether that's challenges and experiences like rowing around the UK, sailing on a tall ship, crewing a yacht around the Scottish islands (most of which is heavily subsidised) or meeting weekly to work together at their unit.
Why the community needs usVolunteering with Sea Cadets is a great opportunity for people to better integrate in their community, improve their confidence, make new friends, boost their careers, as well as support local young people. Sport and recreation can often be an expensive hobby for many young people and their families. Sea Cadets offers water sports, such as sailing, rowing, windsurfing and kayaking, at an affordable cost, and encourages young people from all backgrounds to take part in these activities.
