Some New Combined Cadet Force Arm Badges

[oc14]

Whilst on CCF Summer Camp at Altcar this last week here are a few new Combined Cadet Force badges that I have seen for the first time:-
1) Royton and Crompton School - affiliated to the Royal Regiment of Fusiliers
2) Birkenhead Girls High School Academy- affiliated to The RAMC
3) The Blacon High School (Chester) - affiliated to the Queen’s Own Yeomanry- note the interesting inclusion of the Reconnaissance Corps emblem
4) Liverpool Life Sciences UTC - the rather phallic emblem is actually a test tube - affiliated to The RAMC (and yes Terry (Home Guard), I managed to acquire one for you

Enjoy

Do new badges have to go through the Army Dress Committee or similar?

No as they are cadets and not Reserves or Regulars they get a lot of latitude in what they wear. CCFs especially.

Not entirely correct there Alan, they are supposed to be submitted to the Army Dress Committee for approval (and this certainly happens in 7 Inf Brigade and Headquarters East RPoC). The latest ruling also includes a stipulation that the badges MUST include the school name and the letters CCF. Any that do not meet this criteria will be rejected.
That being said, not all RPoCs are as diligent as 7 Bde and there are many examples out there without official sanction…

All very cool, but of course Birkenhead tops the list for me!

To follow on REME 245's question. Do they need approval from a Corps or Regiment, etc. to be able to use their insignia?

When a school is affiliated to a regular unit, what exactly does that entail? Does it mean the unit adopts them and provides training and support?

Thanks,

Terry

And here’s another new one . This time Rossall School. The “1” commemorates the fact that Rossall School had the first officially sanction cadet Corps (formed in 1860)
