Common Questions

Who can join?

You have to be between the ages of 12 and 18 years; and a Canadian Citizen or landed immigrant.
Want to learn and participate in activities such as sailing, marksmanship, drill, citizenship, band and much more? There are many opportunities available to Cadets; it's your choice in what direction you wish to proceed.

Can I join Air Cadets and Sea Cadets at the same time?

No, you cannot join both programs simultaneously. Please take time to explore each program and choose the one that best fits your interests and schedule before registering.

What does it cost to join?

There is an optional $150 registration fee set by The Navy League Richmond-Delta Branch to cover incidentals. Cost for an additional sibling is $100. However, no cadet will be turned away, if unable to pay the cost. Upon joining, uniforms, accoutrements, specialty training and summer camp training are provided. In fact, you get paid to go to summer camp training!

When do you meet?

Do I have to join the Canadian Armed Forces?

No, you are not required to join the Canadian Armed Forces. While you are introduced to the activities and certain traditions of the Canadian Armed Forces, there is no requirement to join the Forces. The Cadet Program is a great way to make friends, find out more about Canada, and develop new skills that will be with you for life, no matter what career you choose.

How will Sea Cadets help me at school?

You may be eligible to receive High School Credits, Volunteer Hours and/or financial awards (Bursaries or Scholarships) for post-secondary. Your schoolwork will benefit from the problem-solving and leadership skills you will develop at cadets. The Sea Cadet Program will build your self confidence, efficiency, organizational skills, and prepare you to become a young adult.

What if I'm not 12 yet?

You must be 12 years old to join the program. You cannot register until you are 12. However, you may be interested in the Navy League Cadets for youth aged 9-12. More information about the local Navy League Corps, NLCC MJ Miller, can be found here.
