Rushden Unit (No. 639) of the Sea Cadet Corps, also known as Rushden Sea Cadets or Training Ship (TS) Diamond, is a Charities Commission Registered Charity (Charity No: 1194526)[1] and is governed and overseen by their parent organisation, the Marine Society and Sea Cadets (MSSC) - a national youth organisation that provides a wide range activities to over 15,000 youngsters between the age of 9-17, at almost 400 locations throughout the UK.
Sea Cadets[2] provides opportunities for young people to go on great adventures, meet new friends and get involved in all kinds of fun and challenging activities, such as sailing, wind-surfing, rowing and power boating. But there's a whole lot more to Sea Cadets than most people might imagine. Sea Cadet, activities are based on the roles of the Naval Service, which encompasses the Royal Navy, Royal Marines and Fleet Air Arm. These activities include general military training, such as marching and looking after their uniform, but also includes more specialist activities such as boating, adventurous training (including Duke of Edinburgh awards), catering, fitness training, aviation and engineering (plus many, many more). These allow you to learn new life skills whilst gaining self-confidence, respect, leadership and the ability to work as part of a team. Above all, you'll have fun and adventure with new friends.
The Sea Cadets work in partnership with nationally recognised bodies such as the Royal Yachting Association, the British Canoe Union, Duke of Edinburgh’s Award Scheme and the Cadet Vocational Qualification Office, which enable cadets to earn nationally recognised qualifications and skills for life.
Rushden Sea Cadets was established as an independent unit of the Sea Cadet Corps on 23 May 2014 and is based at the Drill Hall, Victoria Road, Rushden, Northamptonshire, NN10 0AS. There are two sections within Rushden Sea Cadets:
Junior Sea Cadets is specifically for age 9 - 11 and routinely meets on Tuesday evenings 1900-2030.
Sea Cadets is for ages 12 - 17 and routinely meets on Friday evenings 1900-2100.
In addition to operating from the Drill Hall in Rushden, Rushden Sea Cadets also has access to other Sea Cadet training facilities around the country, as well as some MOD establishments. This includes the regional inshore boating centre at Thrapston, and access to HMS Raleigh in Torpoint. The charity also owns 5 offshore vessels which are used for training and adventure experiences at sea - these include 2 large yachts, 2 power cruisers and a Tall Ship.
Rushden Sea Cadets' Mission is to INSPIRE local youngsters to broaden their horizons, gaining confidence, skills for life and values through a broad range of FUN and challenging activities, delivered by a highly MOTIVATED team of engaging volunteers and based on the customs and traditions of TODAY's Naval Service.
