Chapter 1 – Introduction

Navy League Cadet Mission Statement

1. The objects of Navy League Cadets are to give young girls and boys mental, moral andphysical training and develop patriotism, good citizenship, a sense of duty, discipline, self-respect,and respect for others, in a nautical environment suited for young people.

Objectives of Navy League Cadets

2. The following list of objectives are based on the Mission Statement and outline the goals ofthe NL Cadet Training Program:

• To instill in Navy League Cadets a sense of loyalty and commitment to Canada and to theircommunity

• To instill in Navy League Cadets a sense of commitment to their Corps and of loyalty andrespect for their officers and instructors

• To help Navy League Cadets learn self-discipline and self-respect• To help Navy League Cadets develop good physical and mental fitness• To instill in Navy League Cadets a sense of initiative and self-reliance• To develop teamwork among cadets and encourage them to help others• To give Navy League Cadets first aid training• To create a healthy environment where Navy League Cadets can have fun• To inform Navy League Cadets about the Canadian Cadet Movement

Needs Assessment

3. Prior to the development and distribution of this publication, the NL 7 was the standard bywhich all NL Cadet Corps conducted training activities. Over time, the inability of the program tomeet the requirements of divisions and corps led to a variety of interpretations and an ineffectivenational standard. The lack of consistency from one division to the next meant that NL Cadets from

across the country were trained differently. The NL 7 devolved into a “guide” with no regard to theobjectives and ideals on which the program was founded.

4. In 1998, the National Council of the Navy League of Canada approved the development of anew training program for NL Cadets, and was based on the following needs:

a) a new standard of training for NL Cadets that could be easily implemented by divisions andcorps and flexible enough to allow for regional differences;

b) a NL training program that places a strong emphasis on the Divisional System, stressingteamwork and respect for others;

c) a NL training program that, although geared towards youth development in the present and inthe future, still embraces ideas and traditions from the past;

d) a NL training program that will stimulate interest in Cadets Canada without “coupling” thematerial covered in the Sea Cadet training syllabus; and

e) a “hands-on” program that revolves around challenging and fun activities.

Scheduling

8. Before attempting to administer the training program, it is wise to plan the training yearin its entirety. Below are some suggestions to keep in mind as you create your corps calendar:

a) Limitations. The training year consists of 30 weeks of training (between 2 or 3 hoursincluding “Stand Easy”, colours, sunset, etc.), usually beginning in September and

running until May. There will be some weeks during this span when you will be unable toschedule a regular training night (i.e. holidays, special parades, In-routine, etc.). It isrecommended that the calendar year be planned by cancelling out these nights, andthen placing your 30 weeks throughout the remainder of the calendar. It is alsosuggested that the Commanding Officer be consulted before choosing your weeklyparade nights. It is important to include their input, as they may have activities in theplanning stages which may influence your schedule.

b) Period Length. The training night consists of two 45 minute periods. Ideally, a 10 or 15minute stand easy should separate them. It is recommended that one of the periodseach night be dedicated to CTS 13 Recreation/Sports and Evaluation . These periodsare designed to get cadets out of a classroom environment.

c) Level 1 Training. CTS 01 Corps Organization and Ship’s Routine should be the firstsubject that the cadets have exposure to upon joining as a new recruit. Resist thetemptation to schedule drill classes immediately upon gaining your new recruits. Forsome, drill can be difficult to grasp and somewhat intimidating. The first occasion inwhich proper drill can be expected from 1 st year cadets is towards the completion ofLevel 1 training (when they are ready for promotion). CTS 02 Wearing andMaintenance of Uniform should not be taught until cadets are issued a uniform andcan practice their new-found skills at home.

d) Level 2 Training. At this point, cadets should have a good grasp of standing drill, andwill be ready to begin marching drill. It is understood that cadets may have been taught

marching drill prior to Level 2 (although it is not recommended) in order to satisfy paraderoutine requirements. You can be assured that at this point, marching in a division willstill require practice and guidance from the instructors.

e) Level 3 Training. When scheduling CTS 05 Canadian Citizenship , it is suggested thatLevel 3 and Level 5 cadets participate in a joint activity. This will allow cadets tocomplete the necessary requirements for promotion, as well as giving the Level 5 cadetsthe opportunity to assist in leadership roles for the exercise. CTS 08 Boatwork shouldbe scheduled for the end of Level 3 training. This will allow cadets to continue into Level4 with the knowledge fresh in their minds.

f) Level 4 Training. It is best to continue with CTS 08 Boatwork at the beginning of Level4 Training. A quick review of Level 3 teaching points may be all that is required in orderto continue with Boatwork training.

g) Level 5 Training. To benefit from CTS 10 Leadership , it is suggested that thoseperiods be scheduled at the beginning of the training year. Since promotions in Level 5are not based on a timeline, this will give you the best opportunity to assess the cadetsleadership ability, on which senior appointments should be partially based.

CTS 13 Recreation/Sports and Evaluation

9. It can be seen in Fig. 1-2 that CTS 13 accounts for approximately half of the entiretraining program. These periods should be used for the following:

a) to promote physical fitness;b) to allow cadets in a division to interact and work as a team;

c) to allow divisions to engage in friendly competition;d) to enable instructors suitable time to complete promotion assessments; ande) to reinforce training through fun activities.

10. Optional Training has been implemented into this CTS to provide corps with somevariety and flexibility. The maximum number of periods that may be allocated to optional trainingper level is listed in Fig. 1-3. Training officers should ensure that all other training objectives arebeing met by the cadets before delivering an optional training program.

11. The activities conducted during these periods are at the discretion of the TrainingOfficer, however, the following guidelines should be used when scheduling these periods:

fig. 1-3 CTS 13 Suggested Activities

Assessment and Promotion of Cadets

12. Promotions shall be awarded based on the successful completion of a set of tasks. EachCTS provides information regarding the expectations cadets must meet to be promoted.

• “What should the cadet be able to perform at the end of the period?”In general terms, this is the task or tasks that a cadet would reasonably be expectedperform (with practice). It does not imply that they will have the ability to perform those tasksimmediately after the period is complete. Stating these expectations at the beginning of thelesson will help cadets understand why they are learning the material and the goals thatthey should take away from the lesson.

• “How should the cadets be tested?”Usually, this block will state what the cadet is required to do for promotion. There aredifferent types of requirements. On most occasions, cadets will be expected to properlyperform a task or combination of tasks. Some lessons require only an active participation inan activity. These expectations are also stated in general terms. Assessment forms will beincluded in the Lesson Material section for each CTS. These forms will provide the instructorwith the detailed information required in order to properly assess a cadet.

13. As most of the assessments are based on performing a physical task, the instructor will judge the cadet on whether or not the task is complete. Factors involved in the decision will be

10



included on the assessment form. The assessment will normally result in a grade of “Complete”or “Incomplete”.

Instructor Preparation

14. Instructors must be fully prepared to teach a lesson in order for the cadets to benefitfrom the training. To this end, the new training program has been developed in order to best

serve the instructors. Once the entire training program has been developed, each lesson willcontain the following:

• CTS – describes what is to be taught and how it is to be delivered (in this package)• Lesson Plan – a proposed guide for the instruction of the lesson (to be promulgated)• Lesson Material – additional information and learning material to benefit the instructor and

the cadets during the lesson (to be promulgated)

Amendments to National Standard

15. Amendments to this publication are the responsibility of the National Navy LeagueCadet Portfolio Chair. Suggested amendments shall be forwarded through the division to the

National Office of the NLOC.

TIME ALLOCATED

CTS 13 Recreation/Sports and Evaluation Levels 1 to 4 –16 PeriodsLevel 5 – 32 Periods

WHAT SHOULD BE ACCOMPLISHED DURING THESE PERIODS?The theory behind the Recreation and Sports periods is to provide the cadets with funactivities that reinforce all aspects of training. Ideally, most of these periods should beorganized by the Training Officer and conducted by divisions. These periods can take theform of friendly competitions towards a Cock of the Walk, Divisional projects, DivisionalOfficer Periods, etc. Suggestions for activities are detailed in the Lesson Materials for CTS13, but should reinforce training in the following subjects:

CTS 02 Wearing and Maintenance of UniformCTS 04 DrillCTS 06 SeamanshipCTS 07 Naval KnowledgeCTS 09 First AidCTS 11 Orienteering

Evaluation periods for promotion are accounted for in this CTS. The Training Officer isresponsible for scheduling an appropriate amount of time to the evaluation of cadets. Manyevaluations can and may take the form of a recreational activity, as they are all performance-based.

SUGGESTED PERIOD BREAKDOWN
