From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

TS Nimrod is a Sea Cadet unit in Port Chalmers, Dunedin, New Zealand. It was founded in 1950 when members of the Dunedin-based unit, TS Waireka, split to form a separate unit. It was named by the current Unit Commander, Brain Elder.

TS Nimrod has held several premises over the last decade, including the RSA and Garrison halls in Port Chalmers and a boat shed at Back Beach. Members of the unit provide a guard for the ANZAC day parade in Port Chalmers almost every year. Cadets often attend regional and national courses and regattas and officers often staff the same.

Though numbers of cadets have decreased over the years, TS Nimrod is still a well known unit within the Southern Area.
