Royal Naval Section In the Navy

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.
