After a very successful year in 2015, Scimitar was awarded another Burgee! This flag represents the upper strata of the Sea Cadet Corps and signals the major improvements/achievements the ships company have completed in 2015-16. A massive thank you to all the Adult Volunteers and Cadets that made this possible (both Past & Present)

A message from Aaron Greenall (OIC 2014-16)

"T.S Scimitar I have been informed by PO Dillon of the good news of receiving a Burgee tonight. I would like to pass on my congratulations to each and everyone of you, as I know how hard you have all worked throughout the year to achieve this prestigious achievement.

I know you will all smash it again this coming year and look forward to hearing about all the exciting times and great adventures that you all get up to.

I will always hold Scimitar close to my heart and continue to be a massive supporter of her Ships Company.

Bravo Zulu

Aaron"

A very generous donation was made to TS Scimitar on Monday 21st March by the late Mr Robert Owens. Sadly Robert passed away recently and in his will he left £1000 donation to TS Scimitar and its cadets as part of his legacy. Robert was a cadet at TS Scimitar over 55 years ago. On Monday evening, Tom Owens (Brother), Robert Junior Owens (Son) & Mathew Owens (Grandson) presented the cheque to the Cadets. We would like to personally thank the Owens family for such a gift to our cadets as this will be used towards funding cadet courses. Thank you.

We are currently recruiting Adult Volunteers for both the Sea Cadets & Royal Marines Cadets. More information can be found under 'Join Us' or Contact Us.

On 30th January 2016, we held an In-Unit Weekend to celebrate the achievements of our cadets in 2015. Last year saw many triumphs in the local community & at competitions, etc. On Saturday, we held a Nerf Gun War which involved turning the entire unit into a warzone and scored each cadet in modes of Capture of the Flag, Team Death match and Free-For-All. Cadets also chose to attend Jump Nation in Manchester on the evening. A great weekend in reward of all their hard work. Well Done!
