Sea Cadet Corps Expansion
A meeting of delegates of the Navy League branches in New Zealand was held at the Navy League Office, Wellington, recently for the purpose of widening the scope of the Sea Cadet Corps in New Zealand. Mr. Gordon J. Reid, chairman of the New Zealand Navy League War Council, presided. The value of the Sea Cadet Corps to the Navy and Fleet Air Arm was explained, and it was observed that “to maintain and develop the Sea Cadet Corps and Training Ship Movement” was. s one of the main planks in thq Navy League platform. It was unanimously decided to establish at Christchurch a central office for the control of the Sea Cadet movement. The office will be established under the auspices of the Canterbury branch of the. Navy League, which is the oldest branch in New Zealand, and whose Sea Cadet Corps has been established for many years. With the establishment of a central body it is hoped to expand the Sea Cadet movement and to gain the assistance of the naval authorities which has not been possible in the past, in the absence of a single controlling authority to represent the Sea Cadet Corps. The Sea Cadet Corps movement is already well established in England, Canada, Australia and South Africa, and some years ago Lord Nuffield gave £50,000 to the Home branch of the Navy League for its special development.
