Sea Cadet Online Shop

Sea Cadet Online Shop

In the latest of new developments for Sea Cadets, the online shop is now open for business.

Selling a number of new clothing items for Juniors, Sea Cadets and volunteers including the option to customise them with a unit crest or name.  Also available for purchase are existing items like badges, boat parts and other accessories.

This new service is provided by Sea Cadets Stores, who normally provide a mail order service but have decided to enter the world of ecommerce following a recent review of products and services offered.

As one happy customer posted on facebook: “Just wanted to let Sea Cadets know I'm very pleased with the service from your on-line shop. Ordered Wednesday evening, you posted it Thursday, I got it this afternoon. Gave it to my daughter when she got home from school. She's happy. Job done.”

The shop has been launched with a smaller range of items initially, but this will increase throughout the year with the introduction of Royal Marines Cadets branded items and further accessories.

It couldn’t be simpler to sign up, all you need is an email address to create an account, set up a password and you’re ready to shop.

Payment is easy too; we now accept PayPal, credit/debit cards, cheques made payable to Marine Society and Sea Cadets or on collection from stores.

To visit the shop go to: www.seacadetshop.org
Or you can contact Stores on SccStores@ms-sc.org

 

Sea Cadets to lead The Queen's barge for Thames...

54 Trinity 500’s, in diamond formation, carrying a flag for each of the Commonwealth nations will take the lead in front of Her Majesty’s barge, Gloriana, on the Thames on June 3 2012.
They will be joining over a 1000 vessels set to travel the seven mile route down the Thames in a spectacular celebration of the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee.
 
The flotilla will pass under 14 bridges in ten separate sections each marked by vessels carrying playing musicians.
 
Londoners got a preview of the big day earlier in the month when 15 Trinity’s took to the water at Putney for a dry run of the course. 60 cadets from units across the region including, Rickmansworth, Southwark, Rugby, Eastbourne, Tewkesbury and Oxford manoeuvred the craft with skill and dexterity impressing the Port of London Authority and MP Jim Fitzpatrick who were watching from a launch alongside. 
 
On the day 300 cadets will motor from Wandsworth Bridge to Tower Bridge, helping the Queen to celebrate 60 years since her coronation.
