Embarking on a New Voyage

In the image, there is a man standing indoors, presenting or reading from a document. He appears focused and professional, dressed in a light-coloured shirt with dark trousers. On his left shoulder, he wears a military-style epaulette with a single thick and a single thin gold stripe, indicating a rank that could be associated with naval or maritime services. A badge is visible on his left breast pocket, though the details are not clear. The background is neutral and unfocused, allowing the subject to stand out. His attire and demeanor suggest a formal or ceremonial context, perhaps related to a naval or maritime organization's event.

We are thrilled to announce the official launch of the Hibiscus Coast and Bays Sea Cadets, made at the HMNZS Ngapona Association mid-year lunch. This marks the beginning of a new chapter in youth development within our community. As we set sail on this exciting journey, we look forward to the adventures and opportunities that lie ahead for our young people.

About the New Unit

This new unit will offer a unique blend of personal development, leadership training, and maritime skills, addressing a vital need in our community and providing exceptional opportunities for youth development.

Our Team

The establishment of the Hibiscus Coast and Bays Sea Cadets is led by a dedicated and experienced team. Lieutenant Commander Sacha Belcourt, with his extensive background in youth development and maritime training, is instrumental in guiding our unit’s direction and ethos.
