Waitakere Cadet Unit (WaitCU) is part of The New Zealand Cadet Forces (NZCF) and is the local West Auckland Cadet Corps Unit.
The Waitakere Cadet Unit was started in 1980 by an ex SAS Soldier (Maj Howie James). The unit paraded at the Te Atatu Primary School and was called the Te Atatu Cadet Unit.
In 1994 the units name changed to the Waitakere City Cadet Unit (WaitCCU). In that same year the unit moved to a building next to the BBQ Factory on Lincoln Road and paraded in the car park. On the 17th September of that year the unit had a recognition parade, which was attended by the Waitakere City Mayor.
In 1996 the unit moved and paraded at 2 Sig’s Coy Hobsonville airbase. When the Hobsonville airfield began to close down in 2000, the unit moved and paraded at Henderson Intermediate School.
In late 2012 WaitCCU moved to our present home, the Te Awaroa Scout Hall, Tui Glen Reserve and when the Auckland Super City was created the unit's name was changed to 'Waitakere Cadet Unit (WaitCU)'.
