Sutton Sea Cadets, part of the national Sea Cadets Corps, announces the launch of its Royal Marines Detachment (RMCD), bringing unique opportunities for local youth to gain practical skills, develop leadership, and experience the camaraderie of life as a Royal Marine Cadet. The new detachment offers young people aged 13-18 a new way to build confidence and forge lifelong friendships - by joining a long-standing community that educates, inspires, and empowers through adventure, discipline, and teamwork.
The RMCD at the Sutton Sea Cadet Unit offers a schedule of activities designed by serving Royal Marine instructors, including field craft, adventure training, and water-based challenges. Through those, all Royal Marine cadets earn internationally recognised qualifications that can set them on future career paths.
"The Royal Marines Cadet Detachment in Sutton is an incredible opportunity for our community’s young people to grow in an environment of support, discipline, and adventure," said Ron Smith, Chair, Sutton Sea Cadets. "For me as a volunteer, seeing a young person discover their strengths and gain confidence is immensely fulfilling. I am especially proud that the leader of our new Royal Marines Cadet Detachment is himself a Sutton Sea Cadets graduate. His decision to give back to our charity is a heartwarming testament to the lifelong impact of the Sea Cadets experience."
Volunteer Opportunities:
Sutton Sea Cadets is actively seeking volunteers who are passionate about making a positive impact in the lives of local young people.
