It was great to have our Area Officer, Commander Gary Farmer, come down to the unit and conduct our biannual Royal Naval Parade (RNP). Commander Farmer met our cadets and watched some training, also spoke with parents and members of the Unit Management Team (UMT).
Commander Farmer also presented some awards and advancements to our cadets.

BZ to all of our staff and cadets for showcasing the Stewartry unit and for all their hard work👏🏻

🌺 Remembrance Sunday 2025 🌺

On Sunday, our Sea Cadets made us incredibly proud by representing their unit at the Kirkcudbright and Castle Douglas parades, although both wet parades our cadets still went out to show their respects.

A huge thank you to our staff, volunteers, parents, and the local community for your continued support.

As well as our unit boating weekend at Derwenthaugh Boat Station, last week we also had 3 of our cadets head up to Boddam for the Northern Area Summer Camp along with Lt Young, PO Young and CI Young.
