🏴 BURGEE 2025 🏴

Pictured with some of our amazing cadets and volunteers is our 2025 Burgee Efficiency Award!

Even though a majority of cadets are currently away on school holiday / other sea cadet courses, we felt it was important to present to show our gratitude to all that allowed us to achieve this fantastic recognition. 🥇 👏

The Burgee is the highest annual award a Sea Cadet Unit can receive, recognising excellence in cadet training, qualifications, opportunities, experiences, leadership, safety, and the dedication of the entire unit.

🌊⛵ Good luck to our cadets, CDT BC and AC RW, who are representing not only Birmingham Stirling Sea Cadets but also Mercia District Sea Cadets at the South West Area Sea Cadets Sailing Regatta at Weymouth National Boat Centre!

This is a huge achievement. After competing/being selected successfully at District level against other Sea Cadet units, they've progressed to the next stage of competition, representing the district on a much bigger stage!

We're incredibly proud of you both and know you'll give it your all.

Best of luck—go out there and smash it! 💙⚓

The whole Birmingham Stirling family is behind you!

Another fantastic evening on the water for our Sea Cadets! 🛶🌊
Our cadets enjoyed an evening paddling on our local lake, with plenty of fun both on and in the water, as you'll see from the photos! 😄
Sessions like these are about so much more than paddling. They help our cadets develop confidence, teamwork, resilience, and leadership skills, all while making great memories and enjoying the outdoors in a safe and supportive environment.
If you're aged 9–17 and are looking for adventure, new challenges, and the chance to make lifelong friends, we'd love to welcome you to Birmingham Stirling Sea Cadets.

Good Luck to LC MV at the Flag Raising Ceremony for Invictus Games 2027 this morning at the NEC Birmingham.
