What
is the ISCA?
The importance of
youth training cannot be stressed sufficiently. The Future of
Nations and the World will depend on the sort of youth training
which the boys and girls receive and the various countries
encourage.
All Nations need to
ensure that the future governors of their countries are adequately
trained in those other important and oft overlooked leadership
skills which make good stable and moral citizens, by encouraging
youth training organizations to flourish. To this end, the
International Sea Cadet Association has a very special role to play.
Through its endeavours, maritime youth training organizations are
encouraged throughout the World , whether or not the countries
concerned are bordered by the seas.
Firstly what is
a Sea Cadet Corps?
A Sea Cadet Corps
or corresponding organization is a voluntary, non-political and
non-militant youth organization, with membership unrestricted by
race, sex or philosophical or religious convictions, which offers
practical and theoretical training in nautical and maritime subjects
within the context based on naval traditions.
What then is the
International Sea Cadet Association?
The
International Sea Cadet Association, referred to as the ISCA, is a
voluntary association of independent Sea Cadet Corps or
corresponding organizations, committed to common concepts and goals,
and wishing to share ideas and information, and, to the best of
their ability, to engage in cadet exchanges and to provide mutual
support in order to promote the benefits of Sea Cadet training
world-wide.
