dd wants to go to sea cadets

[zeus123]

I want to know what they do in sea cadets. Is it ok for a girl she is a shy, quiet girl. I have spoken to someone in the local cadet group but want to know what happens for 2 hours. We have been told to come to the next class .does anyones dc go to the cadets.

DH used to help out at sea cadets. They would basically have an hour of learning knots/ bits about boats/ sea signs/ navigation/ a bit of marching up and down the deck/ sailing and rowing.

there were definitely girls in his group who seemed to enjoy it and there were a few female helpers. If she's keen it is certainly worth going and trying it out. They do take it a bit seriously and expect regular attendance. I think sea scouts are similar but a bit more relaxed.

my ds has been going sea cadets for 2 years now (he is getting a little fed up with it now)but i still make him go ,
she will get to learn lots of things ,canoeing ,and other boat stuff go on parades ,my ds has been away with them on many occasions camping ,and staying in barracks and really enjoyed it ,how old is you dd?

She is 10. She went for a session last week and don't want to go any more and want to leave it for few more years. Thanks for your replies.
