Congratulations to COLOUR SERGEANT Wheeler!

On her advancement following a successful advancement board this weekend!

BZ Colours! We could not be more proud!

What an incredible experience for one of our own…

Corporal Evan, Lord Lieutenant’s Cadet for the Southern Area and one of our very own Marine Cadets, was invited to assist the Lord Lieutenant at the Mountbatten Festival of Music 2026 — a truly prestigious occasion.

We are immensely proud to see one of our cadets representing not only our Unit, but the wider Sea Cadet family at such a high-profile event. Well done, Evan! 👏

Congratulations to our new Petty Officer Cadet Aditya on passing his board today.

You have trained so hard for today and your result and promotion is very well deserved. Since joining Maidenhead Sea Cadets you have always been determined to grow and progress and you have not let yourself down we are all very proud of you.

Thank you to the staff and senior cadets who have helped with your final preparations for your board.

On Saturday, Berkshire Sea Cadets held their very first First Aid competition and what a fantastic success it was! 🎉

Cadets from across the area took part, showing impressive skill, teamwork, and professionalism, truly doing their units proud.

A big thank you goes to everyone who helped make the event possible, including two members of staff from Maidenhead who kindly came along to assist and support the day.

Well done to all involved, we’re already looking forward to the next one!
