OBAN Sea Cadets has received more than £1,000 to help it set up a junior section.
The £1,099 community development grant from Argyll and Bute Council will mean 10- to 12-year-olds will have the opportunity to learn about seamanship, navigation and first aid from the organisation’s qualified volunteer staff, and to be involved in teamwork, gain life skills and make new friends not just in Oban, but also with other junior sea cadets nationally and internationally.
Oban Junior Sea Cadets will have its opening night on Tuesday May 12 in The Old Red Cross Hall, Tweeddale Street, Oban at 6.40pm to 8.30pm. Everyone is welcome.
