I enjoy working with young people and have been involved as a youth leader in both the church and the Royal Rangers for the past 12 years.
Comment:
Many of our nation's youth have no idea what profession they want to pursue after high school. The Sea Cadets allow them to get a taste of the military and other maritime related occupations. So, by being a part of the Sea Cadets they are in a better position to make informed decisions about their future.
