ROYAL CANADIAN SEA CADET CORPS RAINBOW
We are the Victoria unit of the Royal Canadian Sea Cadets, a free program sponsored by the federal government, through the Canadian Armed Forces, and the Navy League of Canada.
WEEKLY AND SUMMER PROGRAMS
Sea cadets train on a weekly basis in our home location and can apply to attend summer training and other fun, free opportunities like international exchanges and working onboard ships, and in some cases get paid while attending.
We have experienced, qualified instructors who lead our cadets and allow our young people to meet their potential in a safe, positive environment, letting them make new friends and try new activities while developing confidence and citizenship. All of our instructors have undergone extensive training and criminal record checks.

SAILING
RAINBOW's sailors are some of the best in Canada. We are very proud of the efforts of our sailing team, and this activity is open to everyone. This is a FREE activity, and one of the best things sea cadets has to offer. Many cadets spend every summer on the water sailing and making friends from all over Canada.
SEAMANSHIP
Our cadets are taught how to tie bends and hitches, rig a type of crane using pieces of wood, rope and what is at hand, and of course tie lots and lots of knots.
DRILL TEAM
RAINBOW's drill team routine includes a memorized drill sequence requiring concentration and discipline.

TEAMBUILDING & SOCIAL ACTIVITIES
One of the best ways to learn is to have fun while doing it, and at RAINBOW everyone is welcome to join in. Cadets do sports together with the aim of enjoying activities and improving fitness, regardless of how skilled you are or how fit you are when you start. We do weekend trips and day excursions where you can get to know your friends better and make new ones.
MARKSMANSHIP
We have experienced coaches ready to help you try target shooting. Our cadets have competed in regional and provincial competitions in marksmanship. Safety is always our highest priority, and our cadets have placed very well in competitions in all of these disciplines.
FIRST AID
RAINBOW cadets have the opportunity to qualify in St. John Ambulance Emergency and Standard First Aid, including CPR. We have a qualified first aid instructor on staff and offer free courses several times a year.
