We at Sevenoaks are very proud of PO Cadet Harry, who recently received his Gold DofE award at Buckingham Palace.
Harry has been a brilliant ambassador for Sevenoaks - planning activities for our Junior division, achieving three RYA qualifications; Sailing instructor, Safety Boat and Day Skipper amongst many other things.
He is inspirational to the cadets around him and continues to set a high standard to his peers.
BZ Harry!!

This weekend some of our cadets went on their bronze DofE and silver practice. It was a struggle but i think we all did very well and we all deserve a good rest at home in our own beds tonight

Yesterday, 2 of our cadets and our CO joined with cadets and staff from Maidstone Sea Cadets for day 1 of 2 Paddlesport Instructor course at Mote Park Watersports Centre, Maidstone.

The day started with a paddle skills assessment followed by instruction and micro coaching sessions. End of the day we were assessed jn several different rescue techniques.

Weather was gorgeous, water temperature was not when it came to the rescues.

This is part of our long term plan to enable and enhance a broader range of the Sea Cadet experience within the unit.

Wish us luck for day 2 next weekend.
