Chapter 1 – Introduction Navy League Cadet Mission Statement 1. The objects of Navy League Cadets are to give young girls and boys mental, moral and physical 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 of the NL Cadet Training Program:

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

• To instill in Navy League Cadets a sense of commitment to their Corps and of loyalty and respect 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 by which all NL Cadet Corps conducted training activities. Over time, the inability of the program to meet the requirements of divisions and corps led to a variety of interpretations and an ineffective national 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 the objectives and ideals on which the program was founded. 4. In 1998, the National Council of the Navy League of Canada approved the development of a new 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 and corps and flexible enough to allow for regional differences;

b) a NL training program that places a strong emphasis on the Divisional System, stressing

teamwork and respect for others;

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

d) a NL training program that will stimulate interest in Cadets Canada without “coupling” the

material covered in the Sea Cadet training syllabus; and

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

Format 5. This publication was created with the user in mind. To this extent, much of the military jargon that accompanies training standards has been omitted. What remains on each page is information that directly relates to that lesson.

TIME CTS 06 Seamanship 2.2 – Knots and Hitches II 1 Period (45 minutes)

WHAT TEACHING METHOD IS SUITABLE FOR THIS PERIOD? This is a practical lesson and should be approached using the Demonstration and Practice methods.

WHAT MATERIAL DO I NEED? WHAT MATERIAL DO THE CADETS NEED?

1. 2 pieces of rope 2. 2 rolls of tape (different colours)

1. 2 pieces of rope (with different coloured ends)

WHAT SHOULD THE CADET BE ABLE TO PERFORM AT THE END

OF THE PERIOD?

WHAT INFORMATION WILL BE PASSED ON TO THE CADETS IN

THIS PERIOD? The cadet shall demonstrate: 1. the ability to a bowline and

explain its use; and 2. the ability to tie a round turn and

two half hitches and explain its use.

The main teaching points are: 1. the bowline and its uses; and 2. the round turn and two half

hitches and its use.

HOW SHOULD THE CADETS BE TESTED? The performance required for promotion to Ordinary Cadet requires the cadet to demonstrate the ability to tie all of the required knots. The instructor can accomplish this in numerous ways, such as a competition, a knot board, or individual assessment.

IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE I NEED TO KNOW? Cadets are required to have a sound knowledge of basic knots and hitches. Applying them to practical situations should help stress the importance of good seamanship.

c) CTS 03 Navy League Movement The aim of this subject is to inform cadets of the history and objectives of the Navy League.

c) CTS 04 Drill

The aim of this subject is for the cadets to learn the minimum number of movements to perform in a parade with a march past.

d) CTS 05 Canadian Citizenship The aim of this subject is to instill national, community, and corps pride in the cadets, and to allow them the opportunity to perform volunteer acts within the community.

e) CTS 06 Seamanship The aim of this subject is to teach cadets the seamanship skills necessary for sailing, and to introduce them to fancy Ropework.

f) CTS 07 Naval Knowledge The aim of this subject is to teach cadets about a wide range of significant naval topics.

g) CTS 08 Boatwork The aim of this subject is to enhance the cadets interest in boating and to teach basic skills.

h) CTS 09 First Aid The aim of this subject is to introduce cadets to First Aid and to foster an interest in further developing FA skills.

i) CTS 10 Leadership The aim of this subject is to teach cadets basic leadership theory and to provide them with leadership experience.

j) CTS 11 Orienteering The aim of this subject is to teach cadets how to read a map and determine a position using information on a map.

k) CTS 12 Introduction to Cadets The aim of this subject is to introduce cadets to the three elements of the Canadian Cadet Movement

l) CTS 13 Recreation and Sports The aim of this subject is to further develop skills taught in mandatory subjects through fun activities and friendly competition, as well as to encourage personal fitness.

Scheduling 8. Before attempting to administer the training program, it is wise to plan the training year in 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 hours including “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 to schedule a regular training night (i.e. holidays, special parades, In-routine, etc.). It is recommended that the calendar year be planned by cancelling out these nights, and then placing your 30 weeks throughout the remainder of the calendar. It is also suggested that the Commanding Officer be consulted before choosing your weekly parade nights. It is important to include their input, as they may have activities in the planning stages which may influence your schedule.

b) Period Length. The training night consists of two 45 minute periods. Ideally, a 10 or 15

minute stand easy should separate them. It is recommended that one of the periods each night be dedicated to CTS 13 Recreation/Sports and Evaluation. These periods are designed to get cadets out of a classroom environment.

c) Level 1 Training. CTS 01 Corps Organization and Ship’s Routine should be the first

subject that the cadets have exposure to upon joining as a new recruit. Resist the temptation to schedule drill classes immediately upon gaining your new recruits. For some, drill can be difficult to grasp and somewhat intimidating. The first occasion in which proper drill can be expected from 1st year cadets is towards the completion of Level 1 training (when they are ready for promotion). CTS 02 Wearing and Maintenance of Uniform should not be taught until cadets are issued a uniform and can practice their new-found skills at home.

d) Level 2 Training. At this point, cadets should have a good grasp of standing drill, and

will 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 parade routine requirements. You can be assured that at this point, marching in a division will still require practice and guidance from the instructors.

e) Level 3 Training. When scheduling CTS 05 Canadian Citizenship, it is suggested that

Level 3 and Level 5 cadets participate in a joint activity. This will allow cadets to complete the necessary requirements for promotion, as well as giving the Level 5 cadets the opportunity to assist in leadership roles for the exercise. CTS 08 Boatwork should be scheduled for the end of Level 3 training. This will allow cadets to continue into Level 4 with the knowledge fresh in their minds.

f) Level 4 Training. It is best to continue with CTS 08 Boatwork at the beginning of Level

4 Training. A quick review of Level 3 teaching points may be all that is required in order to continue with Boatwork training.

g) Level 5 Training. To benefit from CTS 10 Leadership, it is suggested that those

periods be scheduled at the beginning of the training year. Since promotions in Level 5 are not based on a timeline, this will give you the best opportunity to assess the cadets leadership ability, on which senior appointments should be partially based.

9

CTS 13 Recreation/Sports and Evaluation 9. It can be seen in Fig. 1-2 that CTS 13 accounts for approximately half of the entire training 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; and e) to reinforce training through fun activities.

10. Optional Training has been implemented into this CTS to provide corps with some variety and flexibility. The maximum number of periods that may be allocated to optional training per level is listed in Fig. 1-3. Training officers should ensure that all other training objectives are being met by the cadets before delivering an optional training program. 11. The activities conducted during these periods are at the discretion of the Training Officer, however, the following guidelines should be used when scheduling these periods:

Type of Activity Levels 1-4 Level 5 Divisional Officer Period 2 4 Sports 4 8 Assessments 2 4 Recreation 4 8 Optional Training 4 8 Total per level 16 32

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. Each CTS 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 expected perform (with practice). It does not imply that they will have the ability to perform those tasks immediately after the period is complete. Stating these expectations at the beginning of the lesson will help cadets understand why they are learning the material and the goals that they 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 are different types of requirements. On most occasions, cadets will be expected to properly perform a task or combination of tasks. Some lessons require only an active participation in an activity. These expectations are also stated in general terms. Assessment forms will be included in the Lesson Material section for each CTS. These forms will provide the instructor with 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 benefit from 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 will contain 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 League Cadet Portfolio Chair. Suggested amendments shall be forwarded through the division to the National Office of the NLOC.

19

TIME CTS 01 Corps Organization and Ship’s Routine 1.1 – Navy League Cadet and Officer Rank Structure 1 period (45 minutes)

WHAT TEACHING METHOD IS SUITABLE FOR THIS PERIOD? This period is best broken up into 2 stages. The first stage focuses on cadet ranks and the second stage pertains to officer ranks. The Presentation Method using a rank display board, followed by a Practical Activity for confirmation, is the ideal approach.


1. A visual display of ranks (badges, coloured slides)

1. pen or pencil 2. rank structure handout

WHAT SHOULD THE CADET BE ABLE TO PERFORM AT THE END OF THE PERIOD?

WHAT INFORMATION WILL BE PASSED ON TO THE CADETS IN THIS PERIOD?

The cadet shall demonstrate: 1. an understanding of the purpose of ranks

within the organization; 2. the ability to identify each cadet and

officer rank; 3. the ability to place the ranks in order

according to the rank structure; and 4. the ability to address other members

appropriately.

The main teaching points are: 1. the purpose of the rank structure and

what it means to the organization; 2. the ranks assigned to the different levels

of cadet training, and their order; 3. the rank structure in use for Navy League

officers (up to the Division level), and their order; and

4. the proper method of addressing other

members within the organization.

HOW SHOULD THE CADETS BE TESTED? The performance required for promotion to Ordinary Cadet requires the cadet to visually identify the rank of all members within the corps. Cadets are expected to use proper salutations when dealing with all members of their corps. Proper correction from officers is essential to ensure a consistent standard. The rank structure handout can be used for immediate confirmation and to assess the level of learning for the period.

IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE I NEED TO KNOW?

21

TIME CTS 01 Corps Organization and Ship’s Routine 1.2 - Divisional System and Chain of Command 1 period (45 min)

WHAT TEACHING METHOD IS SUITABLE FOR THIS PERIOD? This period is broken up into 2 stages. The first stage focuses on the divisional system, and the second stage pertains to the unit Chain of Command. The Presentation Method using visual aids and officer introductions, followed by a fun activity (i.e. Role Playing) for confirmation, is the ideal approach.


1. A visual display of the chain of command 2. A visual display of the divisional system

1. Divisional Information Sheet



The cadet shall demonstrate: 1. knowledge of his/her division, and of the

members within the division; 2. the ability to follow the divisional system;

a. when making requests; b. when requiring information; and

3. the ability to identify officer positions

within the corps’ Chain of Command.

The main teaching points are: 1. the history and purpose of the divisional

system in a naval environment; 2. the procedures in place for the divisional

system and Chain of Command; and 3. Corps officer positions and their

respective duties

HOW SHOULD THE CADETS BE TESTED? The performance required for promotion to Ordinary Cadet requires the cadet to identify members of his/her division, including DO and DPO. Cadets are also required to identify those corps members that hold a position in the Chain of Command. Cadets are also expected to know when and how to use the Chain of Command. Proper correction from officers is essential to ensure a consistent standard.

IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE I NEED TO KNOW? It would be beneficial to have Corps Officers introduce themselves and outline their duties to the cadets during this presentation.

22

TIME CTS 01 Corps Organization and Ship’s Routine 1.3 – Training Night Routine 1 period (45 minutes)

WHAT TEACHING METHOD IS SUITABLE FOR THIS PERIOD? Part of this lesson will be a Presentation using visual displays to outline timings. Cadets should also be given a tour of the facilities that they will use during their training.

include;

a) timings;

b) locations;

c) instructors; and 2. where this information can be found on a

regular basis.

HOW SHOULD THE CADETS BE TESTED? The performance required for promotion to Ordinary Cadet requires the cadet to properly follow the corps training night routine without assistance. Experience gained throughout the first few weeks should assist with comprehension. A Training Night Routine activity such as a “fill-in-the-blank” (locally produced) should be used in class to reinforce learning material.

IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE I NEED TO KNOW? Since every corps adopts their own routine, much of the information for this lesson will originate from the unit.

23

TIME CTS 01 Corps Organization and Ship’s Routine 1.4 – Duties and Privileges 1 period (45 minutes)

WHAT TEACHING METHOD IS SUITABLE FOR THIS PERIOD? The material in this lesson should be given in Presentation form with time allowed for Discussion of individual teaching points.

The main teaching points are: 1. the parts of the uniform; 2. the proper wearing of the uniform; 3. the wearing and placement of badges;

and 4. the standard of dress and deportment

while participating in a Navy League activity.

HOW SHOULD THE CADETS BE TESTED? The performance required for promotion to Ordinary Cadet requires the cadet to properly wear and maintain a uniform. This can be accomplished through regular inspections. It must be noted that the standards required for a New Entry Cadet’s dress and deportment should be kept simple and that experienced will be gained as the training year progresses. Proper correction from officers is essential to ensure a consistent standard.


27

TIME CTS 02 Wearing and Maintenance of Uniform 1.2 – Uniform Maintenance 2 periods (90 minutes)

items of uniform are in the cadet’s care.

HOW SHOULD THE CADETS BE TESTED? The performance required for promotion to Ordinary Cadet requires the cadet to properly wear and maintain a uniform. This can be accomplished through regular inspections. It must be noted that the standards required for a New Entry Cadet’s dress and deportment should be kept simple and that experienced will be gained as the training year progresses. Proper correction from officers is essential to ensure a consistent standard.

IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE I NEED TO KNOW? Stress the responsibility that is being placed on the cadets to maintain the uniform, but try not to make the word sound too intimidating.

CTS 03 Navy League Movement

29

TIME CTS 03 Navy League Movement 1.1 – History of the Navy League 1 period (45 minutes)

WHAT TEACHING METHOD IS SUITABLE FOR THIS PERIOD? The Presentation Method is best suited for this lesson, using visual representation in the form of an overhead projector. The organization of the Branch and the Objectives provide an opportunity for a Branch member (President, NL Cadet Chair) to be invited in as a Guest Speaker.


1. History of the Navy League overhead slide

1. Handout – History of the Navy League



The cadet shall demonstrate: 1. an understanding of the history of the

Navy League movement; 2. an understanding of the objectives of the

Navy League Cadet Program; and 3. an understanding of the roles of the local

Ideally, most of these periods should be organized by the Training Officer and conducted by divisions. These periods can take the form of friendly competitions towards a Cock of the Walk, Divisional projects, Divisional Officer Periods, etc. Suggestions for activities are detailed in the Lesson Materials for CTS 13, but should reinforce training in the following subjects: CTS 02 Wearing and Maintenance of Uniform CTS 04 Drill CTS 06 Seamanship CTS 07 Naval Knowledge CTS 09 First Aid CTS 11 Orienteering Evaluation periods for promotion are accounted for in this CTS. The Training Officer is responsible for scheduling an appropriate amount of time to the evaluation of cadets. Many evaluations can and may take the form of a recreational activity, as they are all performance-based.

SUGGESTED PERIOD BREAKDOWN Levels 1 to 4 Recreation – 4 Periods Divisional Officer Periods – 2 Periods Sports – 4 Periods Evaluation – 2 Periods Optional Training – 4 Periods

Level 5 Recreation – 8 Periods Divisional Officer Periods – 4 Periods Sports – 8 Periods Evaluation – 4 Periods Optional Training – 8 Periods

IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE I SHOULD KNOW?
