From everyone at T.S. Iron Duke — huge congratulations! 🎉

Last Friday afternoon saw some of our cadets and staff visit Thorpe lakes for a bit of aqua park fun!

Everyone had a blast especially the cadets getting one back on some of the staff and managing to get some of them in the water!

Thank you to CI Jade for organising yet another successful unit trip!

It’s been a busy weekend at the Unit!

Our staff and Senior Cadets have been getting hands-on with First Aid training, updating their qualifications, refreshing essential knowledge and learning the latest techniques for dealing with injuries and emergencies.

Being prepared is a key part of what we do, and keeping these important skills up to date means our team can be ready to step up and help when it matters.

Fantastic work from everyone involved this weekend. Keep up the great work!

While our Marine Cadets were away, our Blue Jackets were making the most of their own Summer Camp in Weymouth! 🌊☀️

The week was packed with activities including cooking, water activities and plenty of team tasks, all helping our cadets build confidence, teamwork and resilience. 💪🤝

And, as you can see from some of our cadets… not everything stayed clean! 😂🌊

A fantastic week, full of challenges, fun and memories. A huge BZ to all our cadets and staff who made the week such a success! 👏⚓

Our Royal Marine Cadets had a fantastic Summer Camp 2026 at West Down Camp on Salisbury Plain this August.

During the camp, cadets took part in a challenging and rewarding Field Package, delivered by our dedicated Field Team and led by skilled and experienced staff. The package provided cadets with opportunities to develop teamwork, leadership, fieldcraft, discipline and resilience in a structured and fully supervised environment.

Cadets also took part in Armed Drill practice, developing discipline, precision, teamwork and confidence under the guidance of skilled instructors.

Alongside this, cadets participated in Physical Training (PT) delivered by skilled experts in their respective fields, helping them build fitness, determination, resilience and team spirit.

Cadets were also taught weapons handling as part of a structured, fully supervised training programme delivered by qualified Skill at Arms Instructors, with a strong emphasis on safety and responsible use.

A fantastic week of learning, challenge, teamwork and new experiences. Well done to all our cadets and staff who made Summer Camp 2026! BZ!
