Welcome to the newly simplified website of Campbell College Combined Cadet Force. The CCF at Campbell is now a voluntary organisation, but is still one of the largest in the UK with around 300 Cadets over three sections; Royal Navy, Army and Royal Airforce. We also have our own Bugles, Pipes and Drums section, who perform at a variety of high profile functions in and out of the College.

Training is conducted in the extensive College grounds on a Thursday afternoon during the Christmas and Easter Terms, and once a term a Field Day is granted for members of the CCF to conduct specialist training throughout the province. More information on each sections activities is given in the respective sections within the site.

Each year we attend two camps; one at Easter and one over the Summer Holidays. Our latest camp between 20 and 25 March 2008 was attended by almost 60 Cadets at Garelochhead near Glasgow. This summer however, we will be attending a centralised camp over at Warcop, England. More information will be published nearer to the time.

I hope you enjoy this site, and that it proves both informative and entertaining. If you have any questions of queries, please do not hesitate to email me at webmaster@behindlines.com for more information.
