Navy League Wrennette Corp
Encyclopedia : N : NA : NAV : Navy League Wrennette Corp
The Navy League Wrennette Corp was formed by the Navy League of Canada in 1950 as a cadet organisation for girls to complement the Navy League Cadet Corps of Canada.
It had similar objectives to the boys' organisation, and taught girls seamanship. As can be seen from the quotation below, boys and girls are now treated equally. The old Wrennettes organisation is now a part of the Navy League Cadet Corps:
The term "Cadet" is used to refer to both male and female cadets. The term Wrennette is no longer used for female cadets except in a historical sense. The term Cadet is not meant to be gender specific. [source: Navy League of Canada Cadet Regulations, 5.01]
