Sea Cadet flagship TS Royalist, a 29mt Brigg, or tall ship played host to 24 young people (aged  13- 18) for a week long voyage 23 June  - 28 June.  The ship ended its voyage at Haldon Pier, Torquay on 28 June.

The voyage was a reward for these young people’s dedication to volunteering in the Diamond Jubilee year. 
Youth United is a charity committed to uniting and supporting uniformed youth groups across the UK, like; Sea Cadets, Girl Guides, and the Scouts and championing the great work young people do.

Katherine Harvey, Special Projects manager at the Sea Cadets, said: “We offered  these young people a chance of a week at sea because of the huge amount of time they’ve given to volunteering. It’s because of their commitment to helping others despite difficult circumstances they may be facing themselves, that we are delighted to give them this incredible opportunity.”
