Staines & Egham Sea Cadets

09/10/2026

A brilliant week has come to an end as we celebrate the very first National Cadet Week! 🎉⚓
At Staines & Egham Sea Cadets, we're incredibly proud of every cadet and volunteer who makes our unit such a positive, supportive, and inspiring place to be.

This week has been a fantastic opportunity to showcase the skills, confidence, teamwork and leadership that our cadets develop, while also recognising the dedication of our amazing volunteers who give their time, energy and expertise to help young people thrive.

From learning new skills and taking on challenges to making friendships that last a lifetime, our cadets continue to impress us every day. None of it would be possible without the commitment of our volunteer team, trustees and supporters who work tirelessly behind the scenes.

Thank you to everyone who has taken part in National Cadet Week and helped celebrate the impact of cadet forces across the UK.

Here's to our cadets, our volunteers, and the future leaders they are becoming. 👏

What a phenomenal day for Staines & Egham Sea Cadets. Yesterday, our cadets proudly took part in the National Armed Forces Day Parade, standing shoulder‑to‑shoulder with units from across the area and representing our community with absolute professionalism, confidence and spirit.

Armed Forces Day – and the wider Armed Forces Week – is all about honouring the men and women who serve, have served, and continue to protect the United Kingdom at home and overseas. It’s a national moment to recognise their dedication, sacrifice, and the families who support them. Our cadets played their part in that story yesterday, marching in celebration of everything the Armed Forces stand for.

A huge thank you to the Southern Area Sea Cadets for organising such a magnificent event and for capturing the day with brilliant videos. Your hard work gives our cadets memories they’ll carry for life.

To every cadet who took part: you made your unit proud. Your turnout, conduct, and enthusiasm were outstanding.

Very proud,
PO Taylor‑Pullen

🇬🇧 Staines & Egham Sea Cadets at the Spelthorne Armed Forces Week Flag Raising

Yesterday our cadets and volunteers proudly attended the Spelthorne Armed Forces Week Flag Raising, standing alongside local organisations, councillors and members of the community to mark the start of this important week of recognition.

Events like this give our young people the chance to show respect, learn about service and sacrifice, and represent the unit with pride. Our cadets did exactly that — smart, engaged and a credit to Staines & Egham.

A huge thank‑you to our amazing volunteers who supported the event and to Spelthorne Borough Council for hosting such a meaningful ceremony.

Bravo Zulu to all who attended. 💙⚓
