Sections in the Sea Cadet Corps

Sea Cadets

The Sea Cadet section is for boys and girls aged 12 to 18. They meet at the headquarters on Mondays and Fridays from 7pm to 9.30pm.

The Sea Cadets undertake two parts to their training. Part 1 Training concentrates on items such as Parade Training, Naval Structure / Customs, Leadership, Instructional Technique and much much more. Part 2 Training concentrates on various activities such as specialist training, waterborne activities and proficiency activities. Each part 2 activity has a number of points associated with it that is awarded to the cadet when the activity is passed.

There is a rank structure within the Sea Cadets similar to that in the Royal Navy. To be promoted you must complete the part 1 training and gain the required number of part 2 training points.

Sea Cadets have two uniforms. The best uniform is similar to that worn by the Royal Navy and is easily recognisable (shown in the picture above). However this is only worn for special occasions and once a month for the Commanding Officer's inspection. The working uniform is practical and comfortable and is worn for the majority of cadet parades and activities.

Marine Cadets

Brighton SCC does not have a Marine Cadet section. The closest unit in Sussex District with a Marine Cadet section is T.S. Eastbourne.

 

Junior Sea Cadets

The Junior Sea Cadet Section is for boys and girls aged 10 to 12. They meet at the Unit on Monday and Friday evenings from 7pm to 9.30pm.

Junior Sea Cadets undertake very similar training to Sea Cadets. The emphasis is on practical and fun activities that are more enjoyable to younger members.

The Junior Sea Cadet uniform consists of a sweatshirt and T shirt which both contain the Sea Cadet Crest, a beret and a pair of black trousers.
