Who We Are

The first Sea Cadet unit was established in 1854 at Whitstable in Kent, created by communities wanting to give young people instruction on a naval theme. Traditionally old seafarers provided training while local businessmen funded the Unit Headquarters.

The tradition of community - based Sea Cadet Units continues today with 400 across the UK each with charitable status enabling them to raise funds to meet their running costs. All Units are members of the Sea Cadet Corps and are governed by the national charity MSSC - the Marine Society & Sea Cadets.

We work partnership with the Royal Navy under a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) and receive corporate support from commercial shipping companies and the Maritime sector. Our core purpose is to celebrate Britain's maritime heritage and contribute to its future development by supporting young people as Sea Cadets.

At Bexley and Lewisham Unit, our exciting adventure activities aim to develop social skills and responsibility in young peopleĀ and re-connect them with their maritime heritage. We want to help young people build confidence in their own abilities as they learn to work as part of a team.

Our qualified instructors guide young cadets so that they can flourish in challenging environments safely. From sailing, mountain biking, canoeing, scuba diving, abseiling, engineering to windsurfing, navigation andĀ Duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme to name just a few, we're sure that we will have activities you will enjoy.
