Our Patron is Her Majesty the Queen and the Admiral of the Sea Cadet Corps is His Royal Highness The Duke of York KG...
The Sea Cadet Corps has one of the longest continuous histories of any youth organisation in the country. The Corps dates back to the Crimean War (1854-1856) when sailors returning home from the campaign formed Naval Lads Brigades to help orphans in the back streets of sea ports.
