Well as the nights now turn lighter the Boating Season is full sail ahead.
Our Cadets are out every Parade Night rowing and working towards either Competent Crew which is the basic qualification they can achieve in rowing, Supervised Coxswain where they learn to take charge of the boat bringing it alongside and completing manoeuvres or RYA Level 1 Powerboat Displacement.
We are regularly posting images of when we go out boating. Head to our Facebook Page to see them!!
If you are interested in coming out boating and developing new skills and making friends come and speak to us or email tsgloucester@live.co.uk
Congratulations to APO (SCC) Aiden Jayne who has successfully passed to his BCU Level 1 Paddlesport Coach award. This will allow us to offer Kayaking and Canoeing in the Unit.

On the 3rd May Councillor Richard Graham, MP for Gloucester, visited our Cadets as they were out boating. This gave Councillor Graham the opportunity to speak to the Cadets and see them out rowing and developing their waterborne skills. We also were lucky enough to our Unit President Councillor Pam Tracey also attend.
On the 10th April 2018, 21 Cadets took to GL1's Swimming Pool to complete the annual swimming test ahead of our boating season.
The Water Safety Test involves cadets having to get into the deep end of the pool whilst wearing boating clothes and a buoyancy aid, they then have to swim 25 Metres then tread water for 1 minute and then climb.
Needless to say, they all passed.
