SEA CADET CORPS
MOVE BY NAVY LEAGUE
A meeting of delegates of the Navy League branches in New Zealand was held in Wellington recently for the purpose of extending and 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 the Fleet Air Arm was explained, and it was pointed out that to maintain and develop the Sea Cadet Corps and training ship movement was one of the main planks in the Navy League platform.
After delegates had spoken in favour of the movement, it was decided to establish a central office for the control of the sea cadet movement at Christchurch 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. This 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
