Scarborough Boat Station is 7 miles from our unit and many of our cadets do not have access to transport.

Our goal for 2019 is to raise £15000.00 for a Minibus, which despite all our hard work, grit and determination our very own minibus still alludes us! This year as we celebrate our Centenary, we are appealing for you to please, please dig deep and help us get that minibus so that more kids in Scarborough, can get the opportunity to expand their horizons and build their life skills.

It's a massive expense as I'm sure you all agree, but we would really appreciate any amount that you can spare to help in the continuing success the unit achieves throughout.

We would gladly consider sponsorship as well and if you feel you would consider sponsorship please contact myself and I will pass on your offer to the Chairman of the committee.

The Scarborough Sea Cadets are an amazing group of young people who spend an amazing amount of time assisting the local community. We support

• Armed Forces Day

• Provide accommodation for veterans attending

• Support the British legion

• Merchant navy association

• Royal navy association

• Poppy appeal

Scarborough Sea Cadets provides a great opportunity for local kids to learn some of the life skills that may not otherwise be available to them - learning new skills and working in teams - in an environment where young people find new confidence and inspiration and whilst they are building life skills for themselves, they always have the community and others at the heart of what they do.

I have been involved with the unit through my child attending for nearly 3 years and in that time have seen Cadets complete various sailing and kayaking qualifications and attend numerous events including Armed Forces Day, local fayre's, events and of course Remembrance parades.

Scarborough Sea Cadets provides a valuable service to young people in Scarborough and the surrounding community. It provides developmental experiences through nautical adventure and fun; which in turn helps our young people become better citizens for the Community and develops their CV and potential too.

The group are a diverse organisation that has members who are “looked after”, disadvantaged and underprivileged. Scarborough is amongst the 10% most deprived neighbourhoods in the country. Cadets who live in the most deprived areas are most likely to experience conditions which limit their life opportunities.’

However, Scarborough Sea Cadets has continued to go from strength to strength, We currently have 87 cadets, who are looked after and managed by fantastic staff and Unit management committee, all of whom provide many, many hours of their free time to run and manage the unit completely voluntary and the Unit has achieved many accolades;

Winning Canada Trophy 2017 (best unit in the UK)

Wining the Thomas Gray Memorial Shield (Second best overall unit in the UK). 2016

Winning Captains Cup (3rd Best Unit in UK) 2015

Winning the Stephenson Trophy (Best unit in Eastern Area) x 3 years

Representing the SCC in the WW1 Centenary Parade in Belgium

Representing the SCC at the November Ceremonies in London. Marching past the Cenotaph.

Attaining British Rowing Recognition, RYA Recognition in Power, Windsurfing and Dinghy Sailing, Plus many, many more.

A lot of these would not happen without the support of the staff and dedicated committee members and of course transport to get to the various events.

Thank you in Advance
