From boating, sailing and kayaking, to adventure training, camping and first aid, the cadets provide opportunities which help to build confidence, resilience and leadership skills.
Commanding Officer Petty Officer (SCC) Kurt Massen said: “Joining the Sea Cadets is about so much more than just having fun – though there’s plenty of that too.
“It’s about giving young people the chance to try things they might never have experienced otherwise, to make friends for life, and to develop skills that will stay with them forever.”
The Sea Cadets is a national youth charity and each unit is responsible for raising its own funds and running its own activities.
