More Than Cadets-Building the Leaders of Tomorrow

Sea cadets is about so much more that the miilitary. Joining Sea Cadets does NOT mean you have to join the Canadian Armed Forces. It's about preparing young people for life.

Cadets helps youth build confidence, develop leadership and mentoring skills, improve public speaking, work as a team, and become involved in their community.

These are valuable skills that many businesses spend thousands of dollars training their employees to develop. Cadets gives young people the opportunity to build these skills through real-life experiences.

The program also offers scholarships, training, camps, travel, and leadership opportunities.

Whether you choose a career in the military or go in a completely different direction, the confidence, friendships, leadership, and life skills you gain through Sea Cadets can stay with you for life.

You don't join Sea Cadets because you have to joing the Forces. You join because you want to grow, learn, lead, and become the best version of yourself.

Most of all this program is FREE!!!
