🪂 TAKING THE LEAP FOR A GREAT CAUSE! 💙

We're incredibly proud of one of our own cadets, Joy Porter, who is taking on a tandem skydive on 21st November to raise money for Shooting Star Cancer Support at Wrexham Maelor Hospital!

Joy is taking on this challenge in memory of her nana and grandad, who both received care from the unit. ❤️

With her grandad having served in the Parachute Regiment, this skydive is an especially meaningful way to honour his memory, while also facing her own fear of heights!

💙 Can you help support Joy?

Every donation, big or small, will help support a fantastic cause.

Good luck, Joy! Everyone at Connah's Quay Sea Cadets and Royal Marines Cadets is behind you! ⚓💚

🎖️ A ROYAL HONOUR FOR OUR DEPUTY DISTRICT OFFICER! 🎖️

A very proud day for North Wales District as Lieutenant (SCC) J. McDermott MBE, FDsc, RNR, our Deputy District Officer, was formally presented with his MBE today by HRH The Princess Royal, Admiral of the Sea Cadet Corps.

Awarded as part of His Majesty The King's Birthday Honours 2026, the MBE recognises over a decade of outstanding voluntary service and leadership within the Sea Cadet Corps.

Throughout his service, Lt (SCC) McDermott has made a significant contribution to North Wales District and the wider Sea Cadet Corps, supporting cadets, mentoring volunteers and helping to create opportunities for young people.

Speaking about receiving the honour, Lt McDermott said:

“I am deeply honoured and genuinely humbled to have been awarded an MBE. Volunteering with the Sea Cadets has always been about giving young people opportunities, confidence and experiences that help them realise their potential, so to receive recognition in this way is both unexpected and incredibly special.”

On behalf of everyone across North Wales District, we extend our warmest congratulations on this thoroughly deserved recognition.

An incredible achievement. Bravo Zulu, Sir!

⚓ TS Tuscan Trafalgar Night Dinner ⚓
What a fantastic evening celebrating naval tradition with our TS Tuscan family!

A heartfelt thank you to the families, friends and supporters who joined us, and to everyone who helped bring the evening together.

A massive well done to our cadets, who conducted themselves brilliantly throughout the evening. You did yourselves and the unit proud! 👏

An evening of good food, great company and remembrance as we honoured Admiral Lord Nelson and those who fought at the Battle of Trafalgar. ⚓

Had the honour of attending the Royal Naval Association Wrexham Branch’s Trafalgar Night Mess Dinner. A lovely evening spent in great company, remembering the Battle of Trafalgar and celebrating our naval traditions.

We were delighted to be presented with three pairs of white gauntlets and a generous cheque for £100 for Connah’s Quay Sea Cadets & Royal Marines Cadets. Thank you for your kindness and continued support—it means a great deal to our unit. ⚓

Filling from national cadet week were got invited for a visit.

🪖 A visit to Hightown Barracks!

Our cadets enjoyed the opportunity to visit Hightown Barracks in Wrexham, meet the team and gain an insight into life in the Army Reserve.

A big thank you to everyone who welcomed us and gave their time to make the visit possible. Opportunities like these help our cadets explore their interests and discover where their cadet experience could take them.

⚓ CO’s Round-Up – a little overdue!

There’s plenty to catch up on at TS Tuscan, with cadets and volunteers busy learning new skills, gaining qualifications and preparing for the weeks ahead.

🧗 Our volunteers continue to develop their skills: PPO Williams has taken his first step towards becoming a climbing instructor, Sergeant Brown has completed her Lowland Expedition Leader qualification, and PO Eustace has completed the City & Guilds Level 3 Award in Education and Training. Mr Brown has also been developing his paddlesport skills ready for next year’s boating season. Well done, everyone!

🇬🇧 POC Niall represented the unit at the National Trafalgar Parade in London’s Trafalgar Square and has completed his RYA Day Skipper theory course — two achievements to be proud of!

🚤 Cadets enjoyed a boating day at Crosby, while back at the unit we’ve been preparing uniforms and practising drill ahead of the Remembrance parade.

🎃 Our Juniors have been getting creative with STEM monsters and Halloween decorations!

🛠️ Thanks to the generous donation from the Masons and the hard work of our fantastic fundraising team, our MTa STEM kit has arrived. Naturally, we got straight into some leadership and engineering challenges!

⚓ We were also pleased to welcome members of the Royal Naval Association’s Wrexham Branch, who shared their knowledge and supported our training. Thank you for giving your time to our cadets.

As CO, it’s lovely to see opportunities growing through the effort of our cadets, volunteers and supporters. Thank you to everyone who helps make it happen.
