“We had to acheive at least 30 hours of boating per cadet and every cadet had to obtain a specialisation badge in subjects such as first aid, seamanship or engineering, along with various boating qualifications.

“Points are also awarded for attending courses and competitions held by district, area and national, along with activities joining in local community events such as Armed Forces Day.”

The unit is always looking for cadets to join. It is open to boys and girls between the age of 10 and 18. Find Sea Cadets Littlehampton on Facebook or telephone 01903 732462 for more information.
