Huyton with Roby Sea Cadets TS IRON DUKE

General information

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.

Training Ship Iron Duke is a provider of activities with a nautical theme for the Youth of Huyton and the surrounding area.

We were established in 1942 and can regularly be spotted around our local community.

If you are looking for training afloat and are aged between 10 and 18 or thinking of a career at sea then we can help.

Based on the customs of the Royal Navy, the Sea Cadets provide training in Sailing, Powerboating, Canoeing, Expedition Leadership, Engineering to name but a few. We also run the Duke of Edinburgh Award and the opportunity to gain BTECs and other nationally recognised qualifications.

With the opportunity to visit HM Ships, Naval Bases, sailing voyages and a variety of camps on offer all year there is always plenty to see and do.

So if you're looking for adventure or want to make new friends then why not come and join us?
