Whitehaven Sea Cadet unit has passed its latest inspection with flying colours.
The unit’s cadets and volunteers were celebrating when they received the news that the unit had been granted the highest possible award during their annual inspection process for the third year running.
To recognise this, they were presented with a fish tailed flag, called a burgee, to be displayed within the unit.
The annual unit review looks at every aspect of unit performance and measures the quality of training and wider engagements to make sure the cadets are given the best possible experience.
Stuart McCourt, commanding officer at Whitehaven Sea Cadets, said “The cadets and volunteers have shown an enormous amount of resilience and determination this year, especially with all the extra challenges we had to overcome with COVID restrictions. I am delighted that this been recognised with such a prestigious award.
“I would like to say a huge thank you and well done to everyone who has played their part in achieving this, it is something we should all take real pride in.”
