History
The CCF was created on 1 April 1948 by the amalgamation of the Junior Training Corps (formerly the Junior Division of the Officers Training Corps) and the school contingents of the Sea Cadet Corps and Air Training Corps. CCFs are still occasionally referred to as "The Corps". The CCF is separate from the Sea Cadet Corps, Army Cadet Force, and Air Training Corps. Pupils normally join at the age of 13 or 14, with both sexes able to take part.
