National Virtual Junior Summer Camp 2026 - Juniors/26/1204153
Open for booking NOW!

Running: Monday 20 July to Friday 28 Aug 2026

What is it?
The Junior Summer Camp Virtual Opportunity is open to all Junior Sea Cadets who wish to take part in a range of online modules available Monday to Friday over a six-week period during July and August. 1 module will be released each day.

Flexible Participation
Juniors can choose which days they would like to participate in. There is no requirement to open every session, so they can join as many or as few days as they wish.

Recording Their Participation
Juniors are encouraged to record their learning and experiences from the modules they complete in a scrapbook or by using the logbook templates, or both combined.

Template pages will be provided as attachments for draw down from the enrolment course, much the same as you see this Parent/carers information page. You can print them as you need them.

Alternatively, juniors can create their own scrapbook from scratch to document their journey through the modules they choose to take part in.

Cost
There is no cost to participate, as all activities are accessed virtually.

Parents/carers MUST consent through the Sea Cadets Portal prior to the link being sent out. No consent, no link.

Module submission:
At the end of summer juniors take their log pages or scrapbook and request that their junior instructor record the activities in their Junior Sea Cadet Experience record. If the activity shows sufficient evidence of participation and understanding (this is determined by your unit Junior Instructor) the activities will be counted towards your coloured badges and STEM badge.

Parents/carers; Ask your Junior Instructor to book your junior cadet on the enrolment course - Juniors/26/1204153

Exciting news folks. To say we are proud is an understatement. Our very own Ruth has been awarded the British Empire Medal (BEM) for services to the community in County Antrim. If you know Ruth you will know how hard she works, how dedicated she is to her duties within the Sea Cadets through all her differing roles which range from Unit Chair of a few units, District Chair, and Area Chair the list goes on.
This recognition reflects the countless hours she has given to not only our own cadets and volunteers but to many others she has helped along the way. I cannot think of another person more deserving of this award.
It is a privilege to volunteer alongside you Ruth. All I have left to say is. Very well deserved. Huge congratulations to you
