Does your child have a love for the water or anything nautical? Do they need to build confidence, would like to be part of a team as well as enjoy some camaraderie? Then the Sea Cadets might be worth a try! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

BUILDING RESILIENCE<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The world is changing in ways that many young people find difficult. As a result, too many young people are going into an adult world under-equipped with the resilience, self-belief and social confidence they need to make a decent life for themselves. Sea Cadets has the skills to change this. You can see the difference being a Sea Cadet can make in how they hold themselves, welcome new people, and support each other. It can improve how they listen better in school, aren\u2019t offended by constructive feedback, and get on better with teachers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DEVELOPING LIFE SKILLS<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Studies have established that Sea Cadets gain in many ways:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 More confidence<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 Feeling more in charge of themselves<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 A leader people want to follow<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 Comfortable speaking to anyone<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 A brilliant team player<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 Skilled, with qualifications to prove it<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 With positive habits and thinking<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 Adaptable<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 Motivated<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Sea Cadets help teenagers from getting lost before life has started. One in five teenagers experience mental health problems like anxiety and depression. And many young people from disadvantaged backgrounds are shut out of opportunities because they cost too much. Sea Cadets provide financial support to those in need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

LEARNING THROUGH ACTIVITY<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Sea Cadet program revolves around Naval skills in its broadest sense, including orienteering across Dartmoor, travelling abroad, rock-climbing, rowing, ceremonial drill and parading with a band, first aid, engineering, cooking, even weather-forecasting and power-boating…. and getting badges to prove it, and perhaps taking part in national competitions…<\/p>\n\n\n

A SECOND FAMILY<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Young people benefit from having an extended \u201cfamily\u201d in the\nSea Cadets with peers both older and younger than they are. They are motivated\nby the achievements of those just a little older than they are and develop\nconfidence through passing on their skills to those a little younger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They find they want to listen to others with more experience\nin life than they have because they see how it gets them to where they want to\ngo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In turn, they\u2019ll learn how to support people who are less\nexperienced than they are, which will help in social situations such as at\ninterviews.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

VALUABLE QUALIFICATIONS<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sea Cadets get all the support they need to show what they\u2019re made of, whether or not they shine at school, including the prestigious Duke of Edinburgh\u2019 Awards and a range of BTECs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

VOLUNTEERING<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you have any spare time and are thinking of volunteering then the Sea Cadets are actively looking for volunteers. They are looking for people who are happy to roll up their sleeves, get involved, and make a positive difference to teenagers who are often struggling in today\u2019s world and their communities.<\/p>\n\n\n
