SEA CADET & MARINE CADET CORPS
Yeovil and District Sea Cadet Corps now known as T.S. MANTLE V.C. was formed in 1953 and has served the young people of YEOVIL since then.
It is now based in Building 147 at the Royal Naval Air Station YEOVILTON (HMS HERON), having moved from its original site in Yeovil in 1996.
Since we moved we are now attracting young people from across South Somerset and North Dorset who come from a radius of about 15 miles.

UNIT ADOPTS NEW CREST
Among many other things that took place in the millenium year 2000 the Yeovil Sea Cadets were looking for something to assist with our identity.
Commodore Bill COVINGTON RN the Commanding Officer of HMS HERON (RNAS YEOVILTON), graciously gave his permission for TS MANTLE VC to design an adapted version of the parent units crest to use as our own.

T.S. MANTLE V.C.
We are located on the edge of the airfield, this gives the Cadets the unique sights, sounds and smells of the base, they have unrivaled experiences and opportunities which are unavailable to others.
The Unit is the largest in the district with a compliment made up from Sea Cadets, Marine Cadets and Juniors.
Our Cadets come from the following schools; Bucklers Mead, Preston, Westfield, Ansford, King Arthurs, Chilton Cantello, Gryphon, Stanchester and Wadham.
Yeovil's Sea and Marine Cadets are offered a structured progressive learning plan with a wide range of opportunities of courses and trips that are not available to persons outside the Corps.
If you are aged between 10 and 18 and you are looking for a fun, yet challenging way to increase your experiences, without any pressure to join the military, take a closer look at what we can offer you.
T.S. MANTLE V.C. is open Tuesday and Friday nights 1845-2115 for the Senior Cadets (12-18 years old) and Friday nights 1845-2115 for juniors. Other activities take place during the week and some weekends as advertised.
There is organised MOD transport available to and from Yeovil.
