Army Cadets and Sea Cadets: Youth Organisations with a Military Flavour

Simon from Redwood

If your teenage son or daughter is interested in the military or is looking for a challenging youth organisation try cadets: The New Zealand Cadet Corps (NZCC, Army Cadets) and the Sea Cadet Corps (SCC).

The New Zealand Cadet Corps has an army flavour. Activities include camping, tramping, target shooting, leadership training and first aid. The Sea Cadet Corps has a naval flavour. Activities include sailing, seamanship and naval visits. Both the NZCC and SCC have camps and courses on military bases.

There's one NZCC unit in Christchurch, the City of Christchurch Cadet Unit. It meets on Monday nights, between 6:30 pm and 9 pm, at the Cadet Training Centre at 43 Corsair Drive, Wigram (near the old control tower).

The Christchurch Sea Cadet unit is TS Godley. It meets on Tuesday nights, between 6:30 pm and 9 pm, at HMNZS Pegasus in Montreal Street (the military recruiting centre, near Bealey Ave).

For more information contact the cadet Area Support Officer, Major Wayne Henderson, on wayne.henderson@cadetforces.org.nz, or check out the cadets online:
