Our objectives
Sea Cadets inspires young people aged 10-18 to achieve their potential through challenge and nautical adventure, guided by the customs and traditions of today’s Royal Navy.
We aim to launch every young person for life in today’s evolving world, with experiences, activities and qualifications that aren’t always available elsewhere.
Our activities
Harlow Sea Cadets is based in the community and provides indoor and outdoor education for young people each week – as well as a range of activities on weekends, during school holidays and term time.
There are lots of activities on the water including Rowing, Kayaking, Powerboating, Sailing & Windsurfing, as well as a number of land-based activities including Campcraft, Map-reading, Leadership & Teamwork exercises, First Aid, Catering, Engineering, STEM and the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award.
Cadets and volunteers can earn nationally recognised qualifications from the RYA, British Rowing, PaddleUK, CVC BTECs, St Johns Ambulance, Qualsafe and more!
We have six values that guide us and our young people:
- Respect: “To be inclusive, appreciate others and considerate of all.”
- Loyalty: “To be faithful to those who value and support me.”
- Self-Discipline: “To do my best and do what I must.”
- Commitment: “To do what I say I will.”
- Honesty & Integrity: “To tell the truth and be a good person.”
- Courage: “To do what I know is right.”
