The Royal Canadian Sea Cadet Corps (RCSCC) is a civilian youth program for teens ages 12 through 18.

​

RCSCC Bowmanville meets Wednesday evenings from September to June. Cadet training may include community service, teamwork, seamanship, leadership, fitness and sports, marksmanship, drill, instructional technique and small craft operation. Many of these subjects are taught by experienced senior cadets.

​

There are opportunities to travel during the summer for advanced training in these and other areas, such as military band, boat repair and diesel engine repair and operation. Courses range in length from two to eight weeks. There are even opportunities to work on board ships, travel to other countries or to be hired as staff to conduct the summer training.

​

Its FREE to join! Uniforms are provided and are required to be returned when the cadet leaves the program. Cadets are required to participate in fundraising activities to pay for non-mandatory training activities.

​

Cadets who join RCSCC Bowmanville are not part of the military nor is there any expectation that they join the military at any time in the future. Under no circumstances can cadets be called to serve with the Canadian Forces, at home or abroad.
