We hope LC Luca is having a great time preparing for National Trafalgar Parade tomorrow!

A lot of training but it will absolutely be worth it!

National Cadet Week – Helping Sea Cadets provide skills for life

This National Cadet Week, we thank all the corporate partners and employers who are helping Sea Cadets to give young people skills for life.

Whether supplying food and water for cadet events and activities or providing support for our offshore fleet and boat stations, our charity could not provide the incredible experiences we offer without your contributions.

Employers also have a crucial role to play, by signing the Armed Forces Covenant (with its commitment to supporting cadet groups) and giving employees additional leave to carry out community youth work as Cadet Force Adult Volunteers.

Marine Society & Sea Cadets are calling for five days of statutory volunteering leave for each employee – so that even more people can volunteer to support cadets across the UK. We therefore salute those who are already going above and beyond, such as Cummins – who give Cadet Force Adult Volunteers 10 days of additional leave.

Read here about how Cummins supported one Teesside District volunteer and provided the facilities that allowed to become our newest affiliated unit in July:

A big congratulations to our Commanding Officer & Executive Officer, the now Sub-Lieutenant & Sergeant Forster ❤️

TS Ambush wishes you a lifetime of happiness ❤️

Congratulations are in order!🎉

Firstly, to our very own Leading Cadet Toma, who has been sworn in as the SCC Lord Lieutenant's Cadet for Derbyshire for 2026/2027!

Leading Cadet Toma delivered a fantastic speech recognising the importance of the role and thanking the previous incumbent from T.S. Indomitable, Long Eaton Sea Cadets. We're sure that Toma will do a brilliant job at various events, supporting the Lord Lieutenant over the next year.

At the same event, the XO, Sergeant Forster was awarded a certificate of meritorious service across the different roles he carries out for the Sea Cadets, but also as a member of Derbyshire Army Cadet Force.

An enourmous BZ to you both and to all the other recipients of awards!
