Over the last month the ships company of T.S Prince of Wales have been getting ready for boating season, learning parts of a rowing boat and rowing orders.

Last night our seniors all took part in fieldcraft led by Corporal Cammie in preparation for her Cadet Sgts board in June! It's been great to take the marines out in the field and our very eager blue jackets who for their first times doing a section attack did amazing!

Been amazing to see so many new faces over the last month with our juniors decision having grown from 4 to 18 in just a few weeks!

We are also recruiting for our senior divisions:
Sea Cadets: 12-18
Marine Cadets: 13-18

Now that nights are getting lighter it is advised that all cadet make sure they're bringing coats as we will likely be outside more often
