Sea Cadets Update June 2024

Our cadets had a busy weekend! On Saturday, we kicked off our recruitment campaign for September at Broomfield School's Summer Faire. We're excited to introduce Junior Cadets for ages 9-12, which will help stabilise our unit’s growth and aid in transitioning students into Year 7. This Saturday, we’ll continue our efforts at Lunsford Primary, with upcoming fairs at Snodland Primary, West Malling Primary, and St James the Great Primary.

On Sunday, we attended the Memorial Service for Admiral Charles Lucas, the first Royal Navy recipient of the Victoria Cross, at St Lawrence's Church in Mereworth (see 1st and 2nd photos). Our cadets performed exceptionally, with Cadet First Class Jack Brook’s Bosun’s Call piping being spot on.

Special commendations to Ordinary Cadet Julia Fedina and Cadet First Class Maya Severn for their dedication in attending both events.

We welcome any adults interested in taking up a new hobby this September to get in touch. Exciting roles, including positions on the Unit Management Team, are available. Flexible volunteering options are offered. Please contact me with any questions.
