Sea Rangers By Age Group
Cadet Sea Rangers is our section for girls aged 9 to 13
Members take part in a variety of exciting activities at their regular meetings, and at special events or holidays. As well as learning how to be safe on the water and the skills needed to go boating in the summer months, the girls can get involved with community action projects and non-nautical activities such as swimming, climbing, orienteering and competitions.
During the Summer months, Cadet Sea Rangers will normally be found out on the water further developing their knowledge whilst taking part in rowing, canoeing and sailing. There are also opportunities for camping, holidays and lots of fun and games.
The girls can extend their knowledge and skills by working towards the Cadet Sea Ranger badge programme which covers basic nautical and life skills as well as different hobbies and activities. Each crew develops its own programme around the programme in consultation with the girls.
Sea Rangers is our section for girls aged 13 to 21
Girls can join at any age – you don’t have to have been a Cadet Sea Ranger. Many girls join this section and pick up the skills very quickly. Those who have been with us as Cadet Sea Rangers build upon the knowledge already gained and develop the basic skills. In addition they are able to try out new challenges such as offshore sailing, Duke of Edinburgh’s Award scheme.
The girls can work toward the Sea Ranger programme which includes more in-depth nautical skills and knowledge as well as other hobbies and activities. Sea Rangers are also able to gain boating qualifications including RYA (Royal Yachting Association), BCU (British Canoe Union) qualifications. There is the opportunity to experience offshore sailing adventures including sailing on Tall Ships. Many crews also partner with the Duke of Edinburgh award scheme.
