Skelmersdale Sea Cadets Bag Pack Success April 2012

T.S Rodney Skelmersdale Sea Cadets and Staff came together on Saturday 14th April at Asda in Skelmersdale to raise funds for their group by packing shopping bags for customers.  Generous shoppers responded by putting £750 in the buckets.

Skelmersdale Sea Cadets are part of the UK's largest maritime youth charity.  Cadets go to sea, learn to sail and do adventure training, all on a nautical theme, plus get extra skills to give you a head start in life.  The money raised by bag packing will be used to maintain and equip the cadets in their activities.

Skelmersdale Sea Cadets brave a Royal Naval inspection by area officer Lieutenant Colonel John Davies Royal Marines


Skelmersdale Sea Cadets (T.S Rodney) braved a Royal Naval inspection by area officer Lieutenant Colonel John Davies Royal Marines on Tuesday 14th February

Sea Cadet Unit T.S Rodney was supported on the night by the attendance of West Lancashire Mayor and Mayoress Rob and Sue Bailey and by all the parents who came along, all of whom were obviously very proud of the children.

It was my first visit to a Sea Cadet unit and from what I saw of the cadets, they should all be very proud of themselves

While the Skelmersdale Sea Cadets might not be blessed with an abundance of financial resources they make the best of the wealth of potential they have stored up in the youngsters of the area.
