FS BULWARK

FS Bulwark encourages young people into responsible adulthood using the customs of the Royal Navy and Royal Marines. We teach cadets from 7 years to 17 years, life skills that they use to further their education and chosen career. We also coach them in many different water sports that are nationally recognised. We also train in discipline, teamwork, leadership, engineering, catering, and much more
