Our Cadets and Royal Marine cadets recents enjoyed an expedition night learning about map/compass reading, how to cook safely outdoors and how to correctly erect a tent

We also enjoyed a demonstration of how to pack a Bergen, we were all amazed at how many useful items could be packed away in it, another great night of fun, a great insight to what you could do when you sign up for Duke of Edinburgh Award.

Another night of fun, four trinitys beached for a clean before being taken out of the water for the winter season. Our sea cadets, junior cadets and RM cadets all worked really hard, whilst having lots of fun at the same time, great team work!

On the 15th September, TS Carron ships company was presented with the Indefatigable Cup for the “Most Improved Unit” from April 2023 - April 2024, whilst under the Command of Lt Cdr (SCC) Blacklaw RNR.

The cup is a prestigious award given annually by the Indefatigable Old Boys' Association to the Sea Cadet Unit that has shown the most significant improvement nationwide in the preceding year.

There are 400 Sea Cadet Units across Scotland, Northern Ireland, Wales & England and it is testament to all the effort and commitment from the Cadets & Staff that we have achieved this award.

The Cup itself, first presented in 2006, is a historic silver trophy featuring an enamelled portrait of Lord Nelson. It was once competed for in annual Mersey boat races, before being awarded permanently to Indefatigable in 1938.

We had a wonderful evening celebrating with parents, supporters and invited guests.

A beautiful morning sailing in Stonehaven - the cadets had a blast taking advantage of the last days of summer and polishing up on skills they’ve learnt so far

National Combined Regatta - London Excel 2025

Early last night with only 12 hours until the sea cadets were due to depart Stonehaven we got the devastating news that the regatta this weekend in London is cancelled.

There are no words to say how disappointed we are for our cadets - 4 rowing crews and 2 kayakers who have shown incredible commitment and dedication, their determination to perform was nothing short of inspiring.

They have been training every night since the area regatta in July and for the last 2 weeks they have been out training at 6am and 6pm.

When we finished our last training on Wednesday night spirits were so high and the cadets were ready to represent Northern Area and show case what TS Carron can do.

This decision, although won’t have been taken lightly leaves us as a unit bitterly disappointed and heartbroken for our cadets however the teamwork we have shown over the last few weeks will carry us forward.
