Kendal Sea Cadets group photo, October 2007
This picture (courtesy of Maralynne Jones Photography) was taken just a couple of weeks before our Unit Review by the District Officer. All the happy smiling faces show just how confident we were that we would get a very good assessment. And we were right !!
Of the 18 separate areas assessed by the Inspecting Officer, ranging from training levels and safety awareness, through to boat care standards, they were all given a Good Assessment.

Kendal Cadets visit Gibraltar
In this shot some of our cadets are enjoying the sun in front of the Rock of Gibraltar. This trip was only made possible with the generous support of Kendal Lions, Kentmere Ltd, the Neighbourhood Forum and the Council. Whilst in Gibraltar they enjoyed time on the water with some our armed forces who are based there and they also learned about the naval history associated with the area.

Cadets at Kendal Rifle Club
Cadets visit the Kendal Rifle Club every month where they are supervised and trained by Rifle Club Members. All cadets have the opportunity to gain marksmanship badges and many go on to represent their Unit and District at Area and National Competitions.

The concentration and discipline required to become an accurate shot often leaves the cadets feeling exhausted and in need of a break. Here we see some of our best shots relaxing in the Rifle Club lounge.

Prizewinners
Taking part in Competitions lies at the very heart of many cadet activities. Whether sailing, canoeing or simply taking part in Unit quizzes, a cadets' natural competitive spirit is always given the chance to flourish. At the heart of these competitions we always try to encourage a sense of fairness and teamwork that will stand the cadets in good stead in whatever walk of life they chose.
