The CCF Charter
The broad function of the Combined Cadet Force is to provide a
disciplined organization within a school so that boys and girls
may develop powers of leadership by means of training to promote
the qualities of responsibility, self-reliance, resourcefulness,
endurance and perseverance, and a sense of service to the community. It
is firmly believed that the self-discipline required in Service
life is equally important in the civil life of the nation today.
The specific function of the Service Training in the CCF is:
- To provide the opportunity for young people to exercise responsibility
and leadership and to learn from the Services how they can be
best developed;
- Show them why the Defense Forces are needed and how they function;
- Encourage those who have an interest in the Services to become
Officers of the Regular or Reserve Forces’.
