Boston Sea Cadets

🎯 A huge thank you to the United Darts League (UDL) | Online Darts League & Tournaments for hosting an online charity darts tournament in support of Boston Sea Cadets.

Thanks to the generosity and support of everyone involved, the tournament raised an incredible £500+ for our unit. These funds will help us continue providing opportunities, training, and experiences for our cadets.

We would also like to thank UDL for running a Bonus Ball raffle, from which a further £100 was kindly donated to Boston Sea Cadets.

Your support makes a real difference to our cadets, and we are extremely grateful for the time, effort, and generosity shown by the United Darts League and all who took part.

Thank you from everyone at Boston Sea Cadets! ⚓💙

⭐️VOLUNTEERS WEEK 1-7th JUNE ⭐️

Thank you to all our amazing volunteers at T.S Cottesmore (Boston Sea Cadets). Each giving up so much of their spare/family time for our cadets, whilst also working full time jobs.

So much goes on in the background. Jobs at the unit and boat station, endless paperwork, revalidation of instructor qualifications to teach our cadets, lesson planning, the list goes on 🥵

Without all of our volunteers whether they are uniformed staff, Civilian instructors or the Unit Management team, the unit could not run without the level of commitment and dedication from the whole team!! 👏

Proud CO of the best team!! 💪

District regatta 23rd May. Our open girls team were amazing and won gold. They are through to the Area competition 🥳👏.

Our open boys team placed 3rd, however the races were extremely close! A huge congratulations to them for their effort 👌.

A shout out also goes to our awesome staff team which consisted of PPO S Harvey as coxswain, PO Hoadley, PPO Jones, CI Mallabone and our very new Chairman Chris. I would say it was very very close race, but that would be untrue as Wisbech staff team did a great job 🤣, (but they did have more experienced staff) 👍.

Saturday 30th May we held a kayaking Discover, Explore and Go Row 1 rowing course for Boston and Spalding cadets. All cadets and Instructors had fantastic weather and a great day. Lots of qualifications gained, congratulations to all for a great effort. 👏

Proud CO ⚓️ 👏

Last night was a fantastic evening at Boston Sea Cadets as we celebrated the hard work, dedication and achievements of our cadets.

👏 Congratulations to one of our cadets who was presented with their Bronze Duke of Edinburgh's Award (DofE), a significant achievement that reflects commitment, perseverance and teamwork.

🚣 We were also delighted to present Paddle Start and Rowing Taster Certificates, recognising the efforts and enthusiasm shown by our cadets as they develop new skills on the water.

⭐ A special well done goes to one of our juniors who successfully gained their Red Badge and was promoted to Junior Cadet First Class. This is a great accomplishment and a testament to their hard work and progress within the unit.

We are incredibly proud of all our young people and look forward to seeing what they achieve next. Keep up the excellent work!

Friday night we had a joint division evening with Spalding division cadets. Huge congratulations to all Cadets and Juniors who received promotions, paddle start awards, good conduct badges, basic campcraft and Junior colour badges 👏

Saturday was perfect weather to host a Boston Junior and Spalding cadets boating session. Cadets had taster sessions in rowing, kayaking and power boating, whilst others were
gaining more experience. Finished off with the cold water test. 🌞🛶

Thank you to all the instructors who helped make the day happen.
