Co-operation between sea cadet and Navy League cadet corps ...Continued from page 37
Sea cadet program information sessions can be held for Navy League cadets who will be old enough to transfer to sea cadets the following year. Also, these same cadets can be invited to attend activities outside training evenings in the company of their officers. Indeed, it is quite feasible to envisage such co-operation between sea cadet and Navy League cadet corps. However, it won't happen overnight. It must be allowed to grow and should not be abandonned at the first sign of a problem. Navy League cadet corps have the same goals we do, and working together will help raise our profile, instill in young people a passion for Cadets and, most importantly, give them unforgettable experiences.

CIC officers can assist Navy League officers in strengthening their training and provide them with additional tools to help in their own professional development. Since Navy League cadet corps are not supported by DND, they may not have sufficient funds to provide as many courses for their officers. CIC officers can fill this gap by providing training sessions—discussed in advance with the Navy League corps CO. Furthermore, staff cadets skilled in teaching techniques can teach Navy League cadets during their evening training sessions.

Orienteering: A best-kept secret? ...Continued from page 22 It's certainly no secret that orienteering is a challenging yet fun activity.

Cadet Program framework shift ...Continued from page 15 activities, and on developing instructors/leaders for these activities. Additionally, this program gives these cadets more opportunities to use the general knowledge and skills they have learned at their corps/squadron. Each elemental CSTC program is made up of courses common to all three elements (fitness and sports and musician courses, for example) and element-specific courses. Nationally directed activities National headquarters may choose to institute nationally directed activities to augment other programs. The purpose of these activities is to help maintain cadet interest and allow national headquarters to tailor the overall program to elemental interests and capitalize on national
and international resources. For example, within the activity area of cultural education/travel, national staff may choose to conduct international exchanges. Or, in the activity area of air rifle marksmanship, they may choose to conduct national air rifle marksmanship championships. As you can see, some terms and definitions in our framework have been eliminated, some remain the same or are similar, while others are new. These provide the basis for a common language for all of us. New Cadet Administration and Training Orders, as well as other materials detailing this framework, will be distributed this fall. Lt(N) Hall is the sea cadet program development staff officer at Directorate Cadets.
