Royal Naval Section
The Royal Naval Section provides training in leadership and seamanship. Training includes nautical elements such as navigation, sailing and canoeing or wind surfing as well as the usual CCF training in shooting and outdoor survival.
The Navy provide a wide range of camps and courses which last about a week in the Easter and Summer holidays. These courses may include activities such as dinghy sailing, sea experience on board a fleet tender on the Firth of Clyde or an attachment to a larger ship. There are courses with the Royal Marines, small-arms and gunnery courses plus adventurous training or engineering courses.
For training purposes, the Section is supported by regular visits from Naval personnel. A Royal Navy Chief Petty Officer visits several times a term to provide back-up training arid advice and the Schools Liaison Team make frequent visits.
