The Plymouth Drake Sea Cadets is one of
many Sea Cadet units located throughout the UK. It is a
disciplined youth organisation based upon the Royal Navy and a
registered charity. Plymouth Drake unit has played a key part in
developing Plymouth's youth for over 50 Years and although based upon
the Royal Navy is not funded by it and relies mainly on donations and
fundraising by the adult volunteers.
On 6th November 2007,
Plymouth Drake Sea Cadets or TS
Golden Hind as it is known, relocated to HMS Vivid after many years at Fisher Block
within HMS Drake.
HMS Vivid is located in South
Yard of HM Naval Dockyard and is now shared between the Royal Naval
Reservists who parade on a Wednesday night, and the Sea Cadets who parade
Tuesday, Thursday & Friday.
TS Golden Hind currently
has over 100 cadets enrolled with many still waiting to join. With the
relocation to HMS Vivid, TS Golden Hind, in time will be able to expand
and be able to increase its numbers and offer a wider range of training
classes and activities.
