Torbay Sea Cadets

Torbay Sea Cadets We are the Torbay unit of the Sea Cadet Corps, based in Paignton. We welcome young people aged 10-18 into our ranks and are run by a team of volunteers.

Aged 18+ and want to join our crew? We are always happy to welcome new adults too! Torbay Sea Cadets are part of the UK's largest maritime youth organisation, open to young people aged 10-18 years and adult volunteers aged 18+. Learn to kayak, row, sail, powerboat or windsurf during our afloat training season, or embark on a voyage of discovery with the magnificent Sea Cadet offshore fleet! Are yo

u into diving, mountain biking, camping, adventure training or shooting? Or maybe you want to become a first aider, chef, marine engineer, physical trainer or navigator? What about an interest in music, the weather, information technology or ropework? Would you like to participate in the Duke of Edinburgh award scheme or earn BTEC level qualifications? With Sea Cadets, you can enjoy all of this and so much more, whether you join as a cadet or an adult volunteer, all whilst making lots of new friends and creating some of the best memories of your life. You can even take to the skies with the national aviation training programme or go overseas with the International Sea Cadet Association exchange programme! If you'd like to come along either as a prospective cadet or adult volunteer to meet us and have an informal chat, please do get in touch by emailing [email protected]

Fair winds and following seas, shipmates.
Sending our respects and condolences to all those involved - friends, families, emergency services and personnel at training establishments - on this sad day for our parent service.

It is with deep sadness that we can confirm three members of the Royal Navy have died during a helicopter training exercise on Wednesday 3 June near Sourton, Devon.

Our cadets enjoyed meeting the police and their mascots - and look forward to working alongside the local Volunteer Police Cadets soon!

Have you heard of the Sailor’s Hornpipe?
Cadet 1st Class Sean spent some time teaching the Air Cadets how to dance the traditional naval way, out in public at the airshow!
Maybe they’ll be shipshape enough for a stage performance next year?!

Looking forward to tomorrow!

If anyone would like to help us in our aim of building up our local welfare/bursary fund and urgent replacement of our safety boat, please consider nominating us (deadline today) on this link - and share with friends and family who may wish to do the same!
We are a local charity in our own right unlike other cadet organisations, and every penny we have comes from donations, fundraising efforts and cadet subscription fees, which we try and keep to a minimum.
We want to continue heavily subsidising the opportunities we provide that they don’t offer in schools, for the future of Torbay’s young people, whatever their academic attainment, socioeconomic standing or career ambitions.
We want to give our young people the best head start in life, teaching them skills for life through adventure and nautical challenge.
