Go Scarborough!!

Scarborough Sea Cadets won top honours at the annual Eastern Area Conference in December 2015 for the outstanding year’s hard work & achievements. They have been recognised with three awards including the prestigious Stephenson Trophy given to the best unit in the whole of Eastern Area of Sea Cadets.

Eastern Area consists of 63 Sea Cadet units with over 2600 cadets aged between 10-18yrs. Training Ship Scarborough has had a bumper year, excelling in everything that is the “Sea Cadet Experience”.

They were also awarded the best Unit Participating in Offshore Award which is for all their time away sailing on the corps’ flag ship TS Royalist & the corps yachts around the UK. This also takes into account their voyages on the Jubilee Sailing Trust tall ships Lord Nelson & Tenacious.

Best Training & Participation Award highlights the competitions that the units enter throughout the Sea Cadet calendar, including their debut in the National Band Competition at the Tower of London, a silver medal at National Combined Regatta, bronze medal in the National Drill Competition at HMS Raleigh. This also recognises that the ship’s company have been fully engaged in attaining new qualifications across a wide spectrum of subjects increasing their qualified instructor’s in dinghy sailing, power boating, rowing & having the only Level 2 British Sliding Seat Rowing Coach in the Eastern Area.

They had cadets attend National & Area courses throughout the year at various locations including Beckingham Training Camp, other SCC Units and Sea Cadet Training Centre’s Raleigh, Excellent & Caledonia. A cadet was even lucky enough to go on the International Exchange to Canada spending 2 weeks with other nationalities, whilst visiting Canadian Naval establishments & ships. They also had a cadet complete the SCC Aviation Course gaining her gold wings & flying solo in small aircraft. A remarkable achievement.

The Stephenson Trophy is awarded to the best unit in Eastern Area recognising all of their achievements and effort throughout the year and is the trophy everyone wants. This is testament to the whole Ships Company’s all-round work ethic, teamwork & commitment. Striving towards the common goal to get as many cadets doing activities & gaining experiences that they will remember for life.

Acting Sub-Lieutenant (SCC) Natalie Davies RNR said “It goes without saying I am immensely proud to be the Commanding Officer of an amazing team that works hard for each other & commits to the common goal to be ‘Smart as a Carrot!!’”

The Sea Cadets is a charity set up to help develop young people aged 10-18 years old offering opportunities for excitement, adventure and personal development as well as learning new skills and making new friends.

There will be a great Christmas opportunity to for the Cadets to raise some much needed funds on 20th December with Cadets doing a bag-pack at Morrison's.  They have generously allowed us to carry out the bag-pack at their Eastfield Store.   Cadets will be needed to cover the shifts starting from 09:00 - 11:30 // 11:30 - 14:30  // 14:30 - 17:00.  This is also an excellent chance for Cadets to rack up some much needed Divisional Points, ready to kick-off 2016!!  

This Tuesday (15th December) will be our Annual Christmas Carol Service at St. Mary's Church.  We are meeting at 18:30 at the Church.  There will be the traditional singing of Carols along with Cadets doing readings and the Juniors performing their artistic Nativity Play. All Friends and Family are more than welcome and don't forget to join us afterwards for a cuppa and Mince pie.
