Maidenhead Sea Cadets & Royal Marines Cadets This is the official page of Maidenhead Sea Cadets and Royal Marine Cadets. A youth organisation providing nautical training to those aged 10-18.

As a Sea Cadet you will test your talents and stamina and develop new skills to give you a head start in life. You will also get the chance to make new friends and have fun. You can join us as a cadet if you are between 10 and 18 years of age. Visit the main Sea Cadet site (http://www.sea-cadets.org) to see a full range of what's on offer. At Maidenhead Unit you can take part in any of our water-bourne activities such as sailing, canoeing, kayaking, powerboating and rowing, all of which can lead to nationally recognised qualifications from the RYA, BCU and British Rowing. We also run the Duke of Edinburgh's Award scheme and our senior cadets can gain a BTEC Level 2 Diploma in Public Services (equivalent to 4 GCSEs). Beyond just our normal training and parade nights we offer opportunities to participate in shooting, hiking, climbing, mountain biking, camping and flying. There are many specialist courses available in ropework, navigation, communication and information systems, engineering, physical training, first aid and catering/stewarding and so on, many of which take place on Royal Naval Bases where you are accommodated and victualled alongside the Royal Navy ratings. Offshore training is also available where as a crew member on one of our sea going power vessels or on our Flag Ship Square rig sailing vessel T.S. Royalist, you can travel around the UK or even across to Europe. Further afield there is the chance of representing the Sea Cadet Corps on an International Exchange with our counterparts around the world. One of our cadets spent 10 days in Hong Kong and met cadets from all around the globe. The opportunities are immense and if you want to do something we will do everything we can to find a course for you. For our younger members we have a Juniors section who have their own training programme that includes modules on water-bourne, outdoor and community activities. If you are interested in joining or want to know more please drop us an email or contact us on our website!

Our friends at Bracknell RNA has shared this story from the August 2026 edition of the Navy News with us with regard to one of our Royal Marine Cadets, Cadet Sergeant Evan who participated in the Tall Ships Races 2026.

This was a fantastic opportunity for cadets involved to embark on growing in confidence, teamwork and leadership.

Meeting new cadets and having to bond and work together as a team for the first time.

I know Cdt Sgt Evan enjoyed and learned so much and he was so grateful to have been given the chance to experience this once in a cadet lifetime opportunity.

Well done Evan.

⚓ Tonight’s Activities – Leadership in Action! 💪

What a great evening for our Sea Cadets and Royal Marines Cadets!

Tonight’s activities focused on leadership, teamwork, communication, and building trust. Cadets were challenged to think on their feet, take on different roles, make decisions, and work together as a team.

It was fantastic to see everyone getting involved, supporting one another, and developing their confidence along the way. 👏

A brilliant evening of learning, teamwork, and a bit of healthy challenge! ⚓💪

Think. Communicate. Adapt. Lead.

🚁 A HUGE SHOUT-OUT TO PO HODGSON! 🚁

Yesterday, PO Hodgson took on an incredible challenge, completing a sponsored abseil from the Royal London Hospital in Whitechapel — 17+ storeys high and from one of the highest helipads in Europe!

All in aid of the London’s Air Ambulance Charity — an incredible cause supporting a lifesaving service that makes such a difference when every second counts.

👏 From everyone in the Ship’s Company, a massive WELL DONE, PO Hodgson! 👏

What an achievement and an amazing way to raise money for such a deserving cause. 💪

Outstanding effort, PO Hodgson — you’ve done the Ship’s Company proud! ⚓️👏

Learning from the Past, Preparing for the Future ⚓️

Another productive evening for our Royal Marine Cadets, Blue Jackets and staff.

Our Royal Marine Cadets took part in a five-part discussion focused on the service and sacrifice of two influential Royal Marines from the First World War: Major Francis John William Harvey RM and Lance Corporal Walter Richard Parker RM.

The Cadets explored their stories, the operations in which they served, and the wider historical context surrounding the Battle of Jutland and the Dardanelles/Gallipoli campaign. These discussions provide an opportunity for our young people to understand not only the history of the Royal Marines, but also the courage, commitment and values demonstrated by those who served before them.

At the same time, our Blue Jackets and staff engaged in a rigorous and constructive discussion about their own continuous professional development. The session looked at current skills, future aspirations and the specialist areas they would like to explore and develop as we move into the winter training programme.

From understanding the experiences of those who came before us, to identifying the skills we need for tomorrow, the evening was a great example of how learning, development and service remain at the heart of what we do.

Well done to everyone who took part and contributed to the discussions. 👏

Ready Aye Ready. ⚓️
