More About Chatham Royal Marine Cadets

Chatham Royal Marines Cadets are a Registered Charity No 302710

​

​

 Chatham Royal Marines Cadets date back to 1903 and have enjoyed a continuous presence in the Medway Towns since.

We are part of the Sea Cadets family, Chatham Royal Marines Cadets enjoy all the exciting activities on water that Sea Cadets do, as well as branching off into serious adventure training too. Specialising in orienteering, field craft and weapons handling is what makes Chatham Royal Marines Cadets unique and you can join from the age of 13 to 18.

While you're doing this

Orienteering across Dartmoor, travelling abroad, rock-climbing, rowing, ceremonial drill and parading with a band, first aid, engineering, even weather-forecasting and power-boating and getting badges to prove it, perhaps taking part in national competitions.

You’ll get all this

You’ll become confident in new situations. Feel more in charge of yourself and know how to make a good impression.

You’ll find you want to listen to others with more experience in life than you because you’ll quickly see how it gets you to where you want to go.

In turn, you’ll learn how to support people who are less experienced than you, which you can use to captain a sports team and stand out in interviews.

And think how it would feel to be able to walk into a room and feel at ease speaking with anyone!

You’ll gain positive habits and thinking that will last a lifetime.

I don’t give up’ will become just how you think!
