Whitehaven Sea Cadets This is the official public page for Whitehaven Sea Cadets. We also have a separate, closed, page for current members of the unit only.

Whitehaven Sea Cadets was established in the old Irish Street school in 1942. In 1945 we moved to our unit on Old New Quay and were christened 'Training Ship BEE'. In December 2013, Whitehaven was battered by a tidal surge driven by winds of well over 90mph. Unfortunately our building was damaged beyond repair and we had to move out. We paraded temporarily in Whitehaven Police Station before moving into our current home on Carter Lane just behind Dixons department store

‼️Unit Closed tonight - Tuesday 27th October ‼️

Really sorry but the unit will be closed tonight due to low volunteer availability.

Unfortunately we have mix of volunteers who are ill and others who are away this week which has left us short of the numbers we need to open safely.

Apologies for any inconvenience, we will update parents and carers again ahead of Thursdays session

🫡 Lakeland District Trafalgar parade, Maryport

Members of our ship's company made the trip up the coast to join the other units from around Lakeland District Sea Cadets in Maryport today.

The annual district Trafalgar Parade is an important part of the Sea Cadet calendar and commemorates the British victory at the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805.

All of the cadets and volunteers involved from every unit did themselves proud and it was a fantastic occasion to be involved in.

Thank you to Maryport Solway Sea Cadets - TS Caesar for their hospitality and organisation of the parade this year 🙌

CADETS SAVES LIVES

Last night, our cadets took part in first aid training which is an integral part of the training syllabus for all of our cadets.

What would you do in an emergency?

At Sea Cadets, young people learn life-saving first aid skills, then put them to the test through realistic training and national competitions that build confidence, teamwork and leadership under pressure.

Those skills don't stay in the classroom. Time and again, cadets have used their training to help others in real-life emergencies, proving that young people can make an extraordinary difference when it matters most.

This National Cadet Week, we're celebrating the cadets who have stepped forward to help others, and the first aid training that gave them the confidence to act. Click here to read more: https://www.sea-cadets.org/articles/tags/1-news.

Our cadets took part in a special event last night to celebrate the first ever national cadets week!

Organised by Josh MacAlister MP and his team, and with guests including David Allen the Cumbria Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner, we were delighted to join cadets and volunteers from all three cadet forces from right across the constituency.

Regardless of the colour of uniform, every single volunteer in the room knows that being a cadet can have such a positive impact on a young persons life and their future career because we see it week in week out.

But it's always special when we hear that this is also recognised by other people who see the importance of what we do and how it benefits the cadets and our community 💪
