Welcome
At the Leicester Navy Cadets, we take pride in developing young people into confident, skilled, and disciplined individuals.
Our unit offers a unique opportunity for cadets to experience the traditions of the Royal Navy and Royal Marines, while gaining valuable life skills, qualifications, and unforgettable experiences. From adventurous training and waterborne activities to leadership development and teamwork, we provide a well-rounded program that prepares cadets for future success—whether in the military, civilian careers, or further education.
We are proud of our dedicated volunteers, our strong sense of camaraderie, and our commitment to supporting personal growth in every cadet. With excellent facilities, structured training, and an ethos of respect and determination, Leicester Navy Cadets is more than just a youth organisation—it’s a family.
