The aim of Marlow Sea Cadets is to help young people towards responsible adulthood and to encourage them to reach their potential by developing valuable personal attributes and high standards of conduct, using a nautical theme based on the customs and traditions of the Royal Navy.
Marlow Sea Cadets needs volunteers who are happy to roll up their sleeves, get involved and make a positive difference to the lives of young people in the area.
The unit has lots of roles to match your skills and offers training to help you gain more. Make more of your free time in the evening by showing cadets how to sail, powerboat, kayak or windsurf. Volunteers are also needed to teach first aid, football, mountain biking, navigation and drill.
Volunteers are supported by a network of other volunteers and employees. As a new volunteer, you will receive an induction and will be given training and support to make you feel comfortable in your role. Sea Cadets is always there to provide ongoing help and support.
Marlow Sea Cadets opened in April 1956 by Admiral Scoffield. It has supported thousands of young people in Marlow to learn nautical skills, with 10 cadets currently attending, supported by 4 volunteers. However, more are always welcome.
Marlow Sea Cadets is part of national charity, Sea Cadets, which gives young people a new perspective. We broaden horizons and create possibilities. Working across the UK with 14,000 young people between 10 and 18, we help them see the world with confidence, gained through the challenge of nautical adventure and a Royal Navy ethos. Our aim is to help more young people to see the future that they want – and make that future happen.
