Sea Cadets - Aberdeen is a charity who support young people aged 10 to 18 regardless of their background or ability, in achieving their full potential to become responsible citizens who contribute positively to their community.

We are based in T.S. Scylla at Aberdeen Harbour and meet twice a week throughout the year providing a safe and fun environment for our young people to try new experiences and learn new skills that they may not otherwise have access to. Many of our activities have a nautical theme, for example sailing, seamanship (knots and rigging), navigation, meteorology, and basic marine engineering, and provide cadets with a variety of skills and learning opportunities they may not otherwise have access to. We also teach general life skills such as first aid, leadership development, and can offer cadets the opportunity to achieve the Duke of Edinburgh Award.

As an independent charity Sea Cadets Aberdeen is run entirely by volunteers and is responsible for all its own costs (boating, building maintenance, utilities, etc). We do not receive any direct funding, instead we rely on donations, fundraising activities and grants. We request cadets pay a small contribution to attend meetings, but financial pressures should never prevent a young person from participating and having access to the opportunities Sea Cadets Aberdeen can offer. The generosity of your donations is vital to our existence, it ensures our doors remain open, we stay afloat and we continue to offer an excellent experience to our young people.
