No 1 Troop
One Troop Marine Cadets
Marine Cadets are young men and women (13 -18 years) who enjoy a challenge, both physically and mentally. The training and ethos of the Royal Marines provides the template for the Marine Cadet syllabus.
The training includes learning many of the skills needed by a Royal Marine Commando to operate as a ‘Sea Soldier’, which include:
• camouflage and concealment
• Map reading
• marksmanship
• ceremonial drill
• Weapon handling
• boat skills
• tactics
• communications
The ethos encourages similar values to those of the Royal Marines in young people:
• Adaptability and Professionalism
• Cheerfulness and Humour
• Consideration of others
• Courage and Determination
• Humility
• Teamwork and Unity
Marine Cadet Detachments (MCD’s) are an integral part of the top Sea Cadet units that have decided and are capable of providing, the wider range of opportunities that Marine Cadets enjoy. Each Marine Cadet Detachment has dedicated staff and ‘barracks’ accommodation within the parent unit.
One Troop, Zulu Company consists of the Marine Cadet Detachments that belong to the Sea Cadet units in the Thames Valley counties of Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire.
Currently, there are Marine Cadet Detachments within the following Sea Cadet units. If you feel ready for the challenge or simply would like to know more as either a Marine Cadet or an Adult Instructor, please contact one of the units below, or email the Troop Commander.
