Our 2023 Overall Cadet of the Year winner was AC Katie.

This winner receives a unit funded place on an Offshore Voyage 

Katie is hugely dedicated to the unit and the Sea Cadet Experience. This year alone she has completed her BTEC Level 1, BC Paddle Start, Offshore Power Grade 2, Intermediate First Aid, Power Boating Level 2 and Basic Piping, and an Introduction to the Royal Marines Band.

These courses were completed alongside her Community Events including Morrisons Fundraising Day, the Remembrance Concert, Remembrance Sunday and the BBC Radio Lancashire Interview.

This level of dedication was also recognised by a Unit Committee Commendation!

The TS Mohawk Overall Cadet of the Year 2023 is AC Katie, BZ! 
 

The volunteers from Blackburn Sea Cadets wish to thank all those who helped to make last nights Trafalgar Dinner a success - with just short of £1000 raised on the night for the youth of Blackburn with Darwen! 

Key thanks go to our guest speaker, Commander Mick Hine RN for his Nelson’s Address, and to our guest of honour Deputy Mayor Sylvia Liddle of Blackburn with Darwen Borough Council for her kind speech.

Finally our thanks to the kind donations from Asda, Blackburn Empire Theatre and the supporters who donated to our bottle raffle. 

A huge thank you to you all 

Next year brings with it our 60th Anniversary with events being announced in the near future!

Last night the unit bid farewell to one of our longest serving cadets. 

RMC Katie has been with us since a 10 year old Junior Cadet before progressing to the Sea Cadets and ultimately ending with the Royal Marines Cadets.

She has been a highly active member of the unit; taking part in all events and courses she could hit into her schedule.

We wish you well in your future career in the British Army!
