The Sea Cadet Corps (SCC), commonly known as Navy Cadets, is the arm of the New Zealand Cadet Forces (NZCF) aligned with the Royal New Zealand Navy (RNZN), which is why we have similar uniforms, rank structure and training. Our training, customs and traditions undertaken by the Navy Cadets aligns with that of the RNZN.
If you decide to become a Navy Cadet, you’ll receive all the common training that every member of the NZCF receives, but you’ll also receive the training which is specific to the Navy Cadets! You don't necessarily need to have a strong interest in sailing as Cadet Units offer a wide variety of training and experiences that are unique to the NZCF, and you will learn valuable life and work skills that will open new possibilities, opportunities and career options. You will be part of a team, develop leadership and survival skills, make new friends, experience challenges and learn to take responsibility.
