Our Story:

Bridlington Sea Cadets, TS Pathfinder SCC is part of the Sea Cadet Corps. A nationwide voluntary uniformed youth organisation.

We are located in the seaside town of Bridlington which allows us to offer fantastic facilities for cadets aged 10-18 years.

Bridlington Sea Cadets is led by Commanding Officer,  Petty Officer, Martin Jolly and his extremely enthusiastic team.

We have a rank structure modelled on that of the Royal Navy, giving Cadets an opportunity to progress and take up positions of responsibility as they acquire skills and seniority. On reaching 18, many Cadets choose to stay on as adult instructors, when their training and talents become invaluable.

The remit of the Sea Cadets is to provide fun, friendship, adventure and learning new skills based on waterborne and land based activities which we at TS Pathfinder SCC find is the most valuable of all.

We have an enviable fleet of boats which we regularly take down to Filey Bay, or Wykeham Lakes and Wilsthorpe as well as hold various courses in our unit onshore and offshore to allow the cadets to gain new specialisations/proficiencies including; First Aid, Marine Engineering, Seamanship, Chartwork, Cooks Stewards, Piping, CVQO BTEC, Communications Information Systems, Duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme, Rowing, Sailing and Power Boating.

We have a very strong relationship with the Royal Yorkshire Yacht Club, where we meet on a Tuesday during the winter.

Our full unit commission, was awarded on 1st October 2019 from Sea Cadet Captain Phil Russell MA Msc Ceng CMarEng FiMarEST RN, granting us the title TS Pathfinder SCC.

We work hard to secure funding and bursaries to heavily reduce the cost of area/national courses and voyages for the cadets.

Everybody is welcome at Bridlington Sea Cadets so come and be a part of it!!
