Become a Cadet
Adventure. Leadership. Service.
Sea Cadets is a uniquely demanding youth leadership program that upholds high standards of conduct, physical fitness, and academic performance. To help new cadets begin their Sea Cadet journey successfully, most units accept new members only in September and January.

1. Using the map below, find a unit that works best for your family and request information.
2. Keep an eye on your inbox! Our recruiting team will email you soon with everything you need to know about joining the Sea Cadets.
3. Get ready to take the first step! Your selected Sea Cadet unit will reach out with information about an upcoming meeting where you’ll learn how to start your adventure with the Sea Cadets. For most units, the meeting will be held in September or January.
4. Can’t wait to get started? Families can get ready by scheduling a physical exam, starting a simple fitness routine, adding drill dates to the family calendar, and gathering gear for future summer and winter trainings.
