Their unit is run entirely by volunteers who work both directly with cadets and behind the scenes.

What’s Involved?

Instructors help deliver lessons and activities that support cadets through the Sea Cadet Experience. No prior military or boating experience is required—full training is provided, and any time you can give is greatly appreciated.

Trustees form part of the Unit Management Team (UMT), overseeing the strategic and operational running of the unit. Meetings are held every 4–6 weeks, either in person or online. Trustees ensure the unit is safe, sustainable, and focused on the needs of young people.
