Navy League Cadet Corps (Canada)
The Navy League of Canada created the Navy League Cadet Corps (or Corps de cadets de la Ligue navale) for young boys in 1948, and the Navy League Wrennettes for girls in 1950. The Wrennette program no longer exists as Navy League Cadet Corps are now open for boys and girls between the ages of 9 to 13.
The Navy League Cadet Programme is separate from the Canadian Cadet Organizations. It is solely sponsored by the Navy League and is not supported by the Department of National Defence as Royal Canadian Sea Cadets is. The Navy League Cadet programme is led by civilian volunteers, Navy League Officers supervised by local branches of the Navy League of Canada.
The training programme of the Navy League Cadets is similar to that of the Royal Canadian Sea Cadets, but modified to serve the needs of the younger age group.

“He will deliver you from six troubles; in seven no harm shall touch you. In famine he will redeem you from death, and in war from the power of the sword. You shall be hidden from the scourge of the tongue, and shall not fear destruction when it comes. At destruction and famine you shall laugh, and shall not fear the wild animals of the earth. For you shall be in league with the stones of the field, and the wild animals shall be at peace with you.”
—Bible: Hebrew, Job 5:19-23.
