Navy League Cadet Officers

Navy League Cadet Officers


Navy League Cadet Officers are volunteers who lead Canada's Navy League Cadet Programme that is solely sponsored by the civilian Navy League of Canada. While Navy League Cadet Officers wear a uniform similar to that of the Royal Canadian Navy, Navy League Cadet Officers are not members of the Canadian Forces. They are civilian youth leaders.

General

Navy League Cadet Officers work for individual Navy League Cadet Corps (or 'Corps de Cadet de la Ligue navale' in French). Every NLCC has a team of officers that work for the well being of the Navy League Cadets in their care, and provide a training programme that is similar to the basic levels of the Royal Canadian Sea Cadets.

Uniform of Navy League officers

Officers of the Navy League Cadet Programme wear a uniform that follows the naval tradition. While similar to that of the Royal Canadian Navy there are visible differences (according to NL 226):

Male and female uniforms

Male uniforms

  • Service Cap - NL Commanders and Lieutenant Commanders (effective 2010) may wear an oak leaf cluster on the peak. All other officers must wear plain caps.
  • Service Jacket - Black, double breasted with six NL officer pattern gold buttons, and NAVY LEAGUE CANADA / LIGUE NAVALE CANADAshoulder flashes.

Female officers

  • Service Cap - Naval pattern tricorn, or Naval pattern female, white, with plain black peak.
  • Service Jacket - Black, double breasted with six NL officer pattern gold buttons, and NAVY LEAGUE CANADA / LIGUE NAVALE CANADAshoulder flashes.

Cap badge

  • The Navy League cap badge is similar to that of the Royal Navy and of the former Royal Canadian Navy but is distinguished by the naval crown.

Ranks

Officers of the Navy League wear similar ranks to those of the Canadian Coast Guard with a maple leaf above the stripes and Royal Canadian Navy rank titles designating them as adult leaders of the Navy League Cadet program.

It is the practice that NL Cadet Officers use NL or LN with their rank in written form to show that they represent the Navy League. However, in French, Navy League officers only use translations of their English ranks, and not the same title as the Royal Canadian or French Navies.

Honours and awards

Officers of the Navy League are authorized to wear recognised Canadian honours and awards as well as specialist badges earned as members of the Canadian Forces. A service pin is worn on the right side of the uniform to denote five year periods of service, and the NL of Canada has awarded a long service medal also worn on the right side for those officers who have served ten years in the program. Additional periods of ten years of service are recognised by a bar.
