Appointment of new Officer-In-Charge at St Helens
We are proud to announce that Lt (SCC) Paul Turner RMR will be succeeding SLT (SCC) James Dillon RNR as Officer-In-Charge at St Helens Sea Cadets.
Here are a few words from our new OiC:
"Firstly I’d like to Thank SLT (SCC) James Dillon RNR on his success as Commanding Officer over the last few years. James has consistently worked hard to develop St Helens Unit over his time in before and during being in Command. I’m delighted to see James is continuing to stay at the unit supporting the future of our unit. I attended St Helens Unit as Cadet from a Junior to Cadet Sergeant in the Royal Marines Cadets. Over the years developing friendships and memories in the unit which I still cherish to this day. I’ve completed several roles over the last few years from Detachment Commander of the ‘Best Detachment in the NW’ to District Training Officer and Assistant District Officer as well as Assistant Company Training Officer and Chief Instructor Skill At Arms. I look forward to working with the capable team at TS Scimitar and continuing to achieve milestones and better the unit in all aspects."
We wish Lt (SCC) Paul Turner RMR all the best in his new role at Scimitar!
Royal Naval Parade Inspection 2023
Last night was our RNP (Royal Naval Parade) Inspection and we was visited by the Area Officer and District Team to inspect our cadets & adult volunteers. The aim of the RNP is to review a Unit's progress within the past 12 months, checking its efficiency and excellence in comparison to others across the country. For the past two years we have achieved Burgees which we are very proud of (
for the next). It was great to have you onboard at Scimitar Sir! 
'Learning to Work' Programme
As part of St Helens Chamber's 'Learning to Work' Programme, we have engaged with local schools in the community to provide information on what the Sea Cadets are and how children can get involved.
This morning (02 March 2023), SLT (SCC) Daniel Tench visited Holy Spirit Catholic Primary School and spoke to the children in a career carousel session.
A successful event and we have many more coming soon!
