What does it cost?

Sea Cadets is inclusive and  we try to keep our costs as low as possible.

Charges can vary between units; some will ask for a small subscription but not always. There are charges for training courses and camps but these are kept to a minimum. Some activities like offshore sailing and expeditions can in some circumstances be supported by bursaries or grants.

Equality and Diversity

Sea Cadets is an inclusive organisation that helps young people to achieve their potential by offering a range of social and educational opportunities. We are committed to equality of opportunity for young people and adults alike. We recognise diversity within our membership and regard it as one of our greatest strengths.

As such, no young person or adult should receive less favourable treatment, be excluded from benefiting from our services, nor suffer disadvantage by reason of: class; ethnic origin, nationality or race; gender; age; marital or sexual status; mental or physical ability; political or religious belief.

Sea Cadets is open to all regardless of sex, religion, race, or ability, within the bounds of safety to themselves and others. We are proud of the different backgrounds that cadets come from - sometimes from the most disadvantaged circumstances. We seek to ensure that there are no barriers for young people to have the opportunity to be a Sea Cadet.
