The Southern Cross Cadet Unit (SCCU) is a community based non-profit youth leadership group. We are based at the Southern Cross Campus in Mangere East, Auckland.
Our vision is to provide opportunities to the youth of South Auckland in a safe, fun environment, that help build their confidence and discipline. It enables students to meet other students from all over the country and participate in adventure and outdoor activities.
The Southern Cross Cadet Unit, is a New Zealand Cadet Corp unit, part of the New Zealand Cadet Forces.
The New Zealand Cadet Forces (NZCF) comprise the Sea Cadet Corps, the New Zealand Cadet Corps and the Air Training Corps. It is a voluntary, disciplined, uniformed youth leadership training organisation for both boys and girls aged 13 to 18.
Training programmes emphasize personal development and include a quality, nationally co-ordinated annual programme, which aims to:
* foster a spirit of adventure and teamwork, and to develop those qualities of mind and body essential for good citizens and leaders.
* provide challenging and disciplined training activities, which will be useful and beneficial in the long term.
