Sea Cadets has launched a campaign to teach the public about the importance of staying 'water savvy' this summer. Sea Cadets’ Water Savvy campaign highlights the importance of staying safe in, on and around the water, and making others aware of the dangers.

There are a number of things you can do to ensure you, your family and your friends stay safe. When swimming in open water, stay close to the shore, make sure you are appropriately dressed, and let someone know where you’re going. If you fall in accidentally, cold water shock can be deadly and it’s vital you do not swim or try to get out. Instead, focus on floating and keeping your airway above the water.

You can find lots more tips and information by downloading our free Water Savvy guide at: www.sea-cadets.org/get-involved. 

Sea Cadets' very own TS Royalist has made history by winning The Tall Ships Races 2017.

The flag ship was first overall and first in class and will now return to the UK with a haul of trophies. Amazingly, this was the first race the new TS Royalist has taken part in.

Cadets joined TS Royalist for different stages, resulting in dozens of young people enjoying the experience of a lifetime. They visited countries such as Poland, Finland and Sweden, and met people from across Europe.

There are plenty of videos to view on the Sea Cadets Offshore Facebook page, where you can also leave your messages of congratulations for the crew and cadets.

Cadets were honoured to be part of an historic day as HRH the Duke of Edinburgh attended his final public engagement at Buckingham Palace.

Ten royal marines cadets from Waltham Forest, Haringey, and Hornchurch and Upminster detachments were at the 1664 Global Challenge Parade this afternoon.

The event was the final one which HRH the Duke of Edinburgh will attend in an official capacity, having completed 22,219 solo engagements since 1952.

Sea Cadets would like to wish His Royal Highness a very happy retirement.

Sea Cadets' patron is HM the Queen, and the charity is proud to have welcomed her husband, HRH the Duke of Edinburgh, to units on a number of occasions.

Sea Cadets also offers the Duke of Edinburgh's Award scheme to cadets, and many of those who have earned their gold have been presented with their certificates and badges at St James's Palace by His Royal Highness.

Congratulations to the six cyclists who took part in this year's RideLondon in aid of Sea Cadets.

The group joined thousands of others on a cold and windy day for the 100-mile cycle, which took them from London into the Surrey countryside and then back into the capital.

PPO Harvey Shaw from Ipswich Sea Cadets, Brighton Sea Cadets' Training Officer Andy Newman, HQ Communications Officer Ed Meens, and supporters Ed Holdcroft, Kim Scott and Chris Hallam were the super six who took part. Between them, they have raised thousands of pounds for Sea Cadets, which will make a real difference to the lives of young people up and down the country.

Sea Cadets still has charity places available for a number of other events this year, including Royal Parks Half Marathon. To find out more, visit: http://www.sea-cadets.org/events.
