Marine Society and Sea Cadet Corps
TS Canonteign -Teign Valley Unit 609
Sea Cadets A nationwide voluntary youth organization run by enthusiastic adult volunteers. Open to young people aged 10 Junior to 18 Senior our role is to provide personal development opportunities and support in a maritime context for children and young persons. The Corps is aligned to the Royal Navy but learning skills are developed from all the sea services. If you want fun, friendship, adventure and learning skills for life, undertaken in a safe disciplined environment based on waterborne activities contact us to see what we can offer. For older Cadets 15+ we offer the opportunity to obtain BTEC Diplomas in a number of training programmes through the "College of the Sea" http://www.marine-society.org/provision.aspx. Children or young people with special needs are encouraged to join in, the Corps is inclusive and the local team welcome anyone who wants to be involved with the activities we can offer. We are growing in Teignbridge, in future it is planned to extend our activities to a number of Towns in the Teign Valley it is hoped that these detachments will eventually include Marine Cadets.
Please note: Unlike other Service Cadet organisations the Sea Cadet Corps are independent charitable groups under an "umbrella" organisation run and administered locally by a group of trustees who work closely with uniformed staff to raise funds to pay for local activities, provide accommodation and logistical support, we would welcome any financial assistance you or your organisation can offer.
