🌺 Remembrance Sunday 2026 – Lest We Forget 🌺

Today, 20 of our cadets proudly attended two Remembrance Sunday parades, honouring those who served and made the ultimate sacrifice.

⚓️ Their courage, sacrifice and legacy will never be forgotten.

We couldn’t be prouder of our cadets for the dignity, respect and commitment they showed. A true credit to the unit! 👏

A heartfelt thank you to the Royal British Legion Scotland Saltcoats, Ardrossan and Stevenston Branch, our staff, volunteers and everyone involved in supporting us today.

🌺 They gave their tomorrow for our today.
We Will Remember Them. Lest We Forget. 🌺

🌺⚓ A HUGE WELL DONE TO OUR AMAZING CADETS & VOLUNTEERS ⚓🌺

Today, our fantastic Sea Cadets were out in force supporting the Scottish Poppy Appeal, selling poppies in Saltcoats Town Centre and ASDA Ardrossan.

We want to say a massive THANK YOU and WELL DONE to every single cadet who gave up their time today to support such an important cause! 👏

Your enthusiasm, dedication, smart appearance and willingness to get involved are a real credit to yourselves, your families and our unit. You have done us all incredibly proud! ⚓💙

We would also like to say a heartfelt THANK YOU to everyone in Saltcoats and Ardrossan who stopped to chat, bought a poppy, made a donation or showed our cadets support throughout the day.

Your kindness and generosity mean so much and help make a real difference to our veterans and their families.

⚓ To all our cadets, thank you once again for your outstanding efforts today. We look forward to seeing you all tomorrow, looking your very best and ready to represent our unit with pride at the Remembrance Parade. Let’s carry the same dedication, professionalism and respect into this important occasion.

A MASSIVE BZ!

Huge congratulations to our 3 Senior Cadets who have successfully passed their Leading Cadet (LC) Promotion Boards! 👏

Leading Cadet is a senior cadet rate which represents the very first time these three have been formally assessed outside of the unit. Their knowledge was put to the test on leadership, drill, uniform and communication - and they rose to the occasion!

A proud moment for Ardrossan & Largs Sea Cadets, as they become our first Leading Cadets in almost a decade!

On behalf of the Commanding Officer and the staff at Ardrossan, it’s been fantastic to see how much you have all grown throughout your time at TS GANNET, stepping up into leadership roles and showing off the skills, confidence and knowledge you've gained along the way. We look forward to seeing where the next steps of your cadet journey take you!

Well done to all three – a brilliant achievement and thoroughly deserved! ⚓️👏

💪 With a herculean effort and three full skips in a single day, TS GANNET's determined volunteer team has finally cleared the refuse from our last portacabin demolition and building renovations! 💪

A huge thank you to the hard working volunteers who put in a 9-hour shift yesterday to lift and shift tonnes of building waste from our yard! 🔨🛠️

This space will eventually be surfaced and play host to additional training facilities in order for us to continue to grow and develop the opportunities we can afford our cadets and other community groups in the area!

After a long summer of boating, cadets from TS GANNET were awarded their ROW 2 and ROW 3 qualifications last night.

⚓️⚓️ These nationally-recognised qualifications mean that these cadets are able to use their communication and teamwork skills (as well as their muscles!) to crew and manage a rowing boat, and for ROW 3, to begin to start taking charge! ⚓️⚓️

BZ, team! 🔥🔥
