HOVE AND ADUR UNIT 187 OF THE SEA CADET CORPS

The aim is to help young people towards responsible adulthood using a nautical theme based upon the customs of the Royal Navy. Through adventurous activities, Cadets become self-reliant, and through teamwork develop consideration and respect for others. The Corps encourages high personal standards and a sense of purpose, and provides a sound foundation for future careers.
