Last week we had 9 of our Royal Marines Cadets away on the X-Ray Company Summer Camp at Westdown camp near Salisbury.

They had a brilliant time and to top it off, one of our cadets, LCPL Johnstone, was awarded Best in Troop for the intermediate cadre🏆 The best in troop prizes were awarded to the cadets who truly went above and beyond in their respective cadres. They demonstrated exceptional skill, leadership, and a commitment to the core values of the Royal Marines. 

Yesterday at the boating station, we had a group of cadets practicing for our upcoming unit regatta. ⛵️

Unfortunately, due to a lack of wind they weren't able to practice sailing and windsurfing but they instead played a range games and activities to fill the time and develop other skills. 

BZ all 👏

Well done to all our amazing cadets and adult volunteers who attended this years Sheffield Armed Forces Day.

On the 21st of June, members of ships company attended Sheffield's Armed Forces Day to show support for the men and women who make up the Armed Forces community including currently serving personnel to Service families, veterans and fellow cadet forces.
