Sea Cadets gives young people a new perspective, broadening their horizons and creating possibilities for them. Working across the UK with 14,000 young people, we help them to see the world with confidence, gained through the challenge of nautical adventure and based on the customs and traditions of the Royal Navy . Our aim is to give young people the best possible head start in life and we are passionate about investing in all young people. We offer a unique mix of activities and experiences, delivered locally, regionally, nationally and offshore, which improves life chances at school, in work and for the community. Through this we create a sense of belonging and identity where young people flourish, gaining confidence, skills for life, values and qualifications, which help them seize a better future.   Newbury Sea Cadets has about 50 cadets, split between junior and senior cadets.  Most cadets join once they are 10 and can remain cadets until their 18th birthday. We own our own base in central Newbury which has benefited from major investment over the past 5 years.  We also operate our own boats and kayaks on local rivers and canals.  Cadets can also go offshore on boats operated by the national body.
