At this local unit, the focus is on supporting young people to become the person they want to be. In a friendly and structured environment, cadets learn teamwork, respect, loyalty, commitment and self-discipline. It is about more than activities. It is about developing character, confidence and a strong sense of belonging.
There is a wide range of experiences on offer. From sailing, windsurfing and powerboating to rock climbing, camping and music, cadets are encouraged to try new things and push their boundaries. Young people can also work towards recognised qualifications that they can take with them into further education, training or employment.
Many cadets speak about the difference it makes. One shared that joining at 12 while feeling quiet and shy helped them gain confidence and feel part of something special. Another explained that it gave them the motivation to get out, see more of the world and realise what they are capable of.
Safeguarding is a priority, with leaders committed to creating a safe environment where young people can be themselves and feel supported.
For families in Eastbourne looking for positive activities and personal development opportunities, Eastbourne Sea Cadets offers structure, adventure and real life skills within a welcoming local community.
