ROYAL VISIT TO PORTLAND

The Queen and Prince Phillip were met by residents of Portland and Wyke Regis on their Visit to Portland Sailing Academy to unveil a new plaque commemorating her visit to WPNSA.  They were attended by Dorset Lord Lieutenants Cadet, Petty Officer Cadet Richard Samuel of Portland Sea Cadet Unit, who received the Union Flag from the Queen as she unveiled the plaque.  POC Samuel, in his last year as a Cadet, is the Cadets National Piping Champion for both 2008 and 2009.

The Sea Cadet Corps is a nationwide voluntary uniformed youth organisation, open to all young people aged 12 to 18.  Marine Cadets for young people aged 13 to 18 and with Junior Sections open to those of 10 to 12 years of age.  it is Britain's most successful nautical organisation for the development of young people with Units run by enthusiastic adult volunteers.

We have a rank structure modelled on that of the Royal Navy, giving Cadets and opportunity to progress and take up positions of responsibility as they acquire skills and seniority.  On reaching 18, many Cadets choose to stay on as adult instructors, when their training and talents become invaluable.

The remit of the Sea Cadets is to provide fun, friendship, adventure and learning new skills based on waterborne and land based activities.
