Along with our partners, the Department of National Defence and our branches, and our sponsor, Saskatchewan Lotteries, we deliver a dynamic program with a nautical theme to the youth of Saskatchewan.
We have two programs: the Navy League program, for youth ages 9 to 12, and the Sea Cadet program, for youth ages 12 to 18. In both, youth are part of a team dedicated to promoting the physical and mental fitness of the young men and women in the cadet program, and to educating them in leadership, citizenship, self-discipline and respect for others.
We have a long history within Saskatchewan, and currently have seven Sea Cadet corps and six Navy League corps in towns and cities across the province.
All corps meet weekly, and offer many opportunities beyond their regular parade night: drill, music, biathlon and sailing are just a few of the cadet options. The summer program for Sea Cadets offers camps, international exchanges and sailing, and the chance to earn money as staff cadets at camps across Canada.
Parents and volunteers are a very important part of the program, because the responsibility for fundraising for the Navy League program lies solely with the local branches.
