Sea Cadets are thrilled to announce they have received the coveted Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Volunteering Award 2012.

To mark the Diamond Jubilee, 60 recipients were announced today through a joint Buckingham Palace and Cabinet Office Press Notice. Our nomination was endorsed by The First Sea Lord, highlighting the amazing support we enjoy from the Royal Navy.

This award is recognition of the great work that Sea Cadets and our volunteers do, and we are immensely proud and honoured to be recognised in this way.

Captain Sea Cadets, Captain Mark Windsor, RN said, “This award is the icing on the cake for what has been an incredible year for the Sea Cadets, culminating in our 55 boat diamond formation of boats carrying the commonwealth flags in our Patron HM The Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Thames River Pageant in June.”

Former Second Sea Lord now Trustee Sir Alan Massey KCB CBE said “I'm absolutely thrilled for all those who have made this happen through their tireless efforts!”

President MSSC Admiral Sir Peter Abbott GBE KCB said” This is wonderful news and so well deserved, a grand way to end a grand year. Many congratulations to you all.”

There will be a chance to visit Buckingham Palace in late Spring 2013 to collect the award formally.

Ends.

Current, our magazine for cadets has been nominated for an award and has made the final three! CMA - the international content marketing awards, hosted by Russell Kane, will announce at the London ceremony on 28/11/2013 who the winner is. CMA celebrates and rewards the content that’s combined innovation, creativity and effectiveness.

And we're thrilled to have made it to the final, and even if we don't win, it is still a huge achievement for us to have got this far. Current is still in it's first year and to be recognised in this way makes us very proud. 

Current launched in Autumn 2011, as a magazine for cadets to help create a sense of community and a platform to share information and ideas with 14,000 Sea Cadets. From learning the ropes, literally with knot tying tutorials, a Sea Cadet specialisation, to winning tickets to see the latest James Bond film, Current is a magazine that try's to give cadets as much as possible in a digital format.

Captain Sea Cadets, Captain Mark Windsor RN, paid a visit to cadets in Dewsbury last night (Tuesday 13 Nov).  This was a routine trip where he saw cadets learning first aid, about Remembrance Day and how to iron.

This visit is part of CSC's commitment to visit all units who have not had a Captains visit in recent or not so recent years.
