We are Hertford & Ware Sea Cadets and part of the UK's oldest nautical youth charity. 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. Hertford and Ware Sea Cadet Corps has been on the river in Hertford for many years. The winter allows time for training and indoor competitions, in the summer there are boating activities, training and competitions. Please do respect our traditional values as we may endeavour to serve the local comunity and be responsible for our lives and actions. Please enquire at the unit on a Parade Night to find out more. Details may be found under the "Parade Times" section.
