Founded on 14th June 1960 as a unit of the Nautical Training Corps, TS Resolution took the exciting step to transition into becoming a fully fledged Sea Cadet unit in 2023.
Our core values have remailed the same and we promote: Respect, Loyalty, Self-Discipline, Honesty, Integrity, Commitment and Courage.

The world is changing. It’s changing in good ways. At Sea Cadets you’ll see teenagers who cycle miles to us because they can’t afford the bus fare, greeting their friend dropped off in a new car, and young people of all races and religions, of all abilities, chatting together, striving together, and cheering each other on.
But the world is also changing in tough ways. And too many young people are going into an adult world under-equipped with the resilience, self-belief and social confidence they need to make a decent life for themselves. Sea Cadets has the skills to change this.
More than a youth club Many teenagers arrive at Sea Cadets excited at the prospect of all the adventures and activities they can have with us. And they’re brilliant fun. But quickly they see the depth of what they can gain here for their future and they grab it with both hands!
We help teenagers from getting lost before life has started One in five teenagers are now shockingly experiencing mental health problems like anxiety and depression. And the widening gap between rich and poor is seeing huge numbers of young people from disadvantaged backgrounds being shut out of opportunities because they cost too much.
Why are young people struggling? Few children now play unsupervised out of the home with others, where they could socialise and learn a range of life skills many of us take for granted. Meanwhile indoors, the ‘always on’ culture of social media can make teenagers feel a failure while putting on a brave face. Being glued to screens keeps young people inside and awake at night, for fear of being excluded.
At the same time, family life can be tough for some and being a teenager has always been one of the most challenging times in a persons life. Role models and belonging help you get through it.
At school, young people see looming exams as their one shot at a future and if they fail all is lost. Higher education can seem the only route to success. There is fierce competition for internships and apprenticeships. Soaring housing costs make the prospect of leaving home and starting real adult life impossible for most.
As a sea cadet the opportunities are limitless. Young please can gain real qualifications that are recognised by industries and employers all over the world.
BTECs are designed for young people interested in a particular sector or industry but who are not yet sure what job they’d like to do. The Sea Cadets offer a range of BTEC qualificatons to cadets.
AS the governing body for the majority of UK watersports, the RYA offers a significant number of qualifications that are recognised Cadets can learn how to sail bith dinghys and keelboats, as well as operate powerboats, windsurfers and much much more.....
A DofE Award is not just a prestigious Award much desired by colleges, universities, and employers. It’s recognition of the huge effort you’ve put in to doing it, the people you’ve helped and the skills you’ve learnt along the way.
