Who We Are

The first Sea Cadet unit was established in 1854 at Whitstable in Kent, created by communities wanting to give young people instruction on a naval theme. Traditionally old seafarers provided training while local businessmen funded the Unit Headquarters.

The tradition of community - based Sea Cadet Units continues today with 400 across the UK each with charitable status enabling them to raise funds to meet their running costs. All Units are members of the Sea Cadet Corps and are governed by the national charity MSSC - the Marine Society & Sea Cadets.

We work partnership with the Royal Navy under a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) and receive corporate support from commercial shipping companies and the Maritime sector. Our core purpose is to celebrate Britain's maritime heritage and contribute to its future development by supporting young people as Sea Cadets.

T.S Modwena

 

Named after the patron saint of Burton on Trent, TS Modwena is based on the River Trent and provides activities with a nautical theme.  If you are aged between 10 and 18, thinking of a career in the Royal Navy, or just want to learn new skills and make new friends, then this is the place for you.

Based on the customs of the Royal Navy, the Sea Cadets can provide training in Sailing, Powerboating, Canoeing, Expedition Leadership and Engineering - to name a few, many with recognised qualifications. 

Cadets are also given the opportunities to visit HM Ships, Naval Bases and attend at least two camps a year.

If you are interested or want to know more please come down to the unit or give us a call.
