Girls' Nautical Training Corps
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In 1942, the Girls’ Naval Training Corps was formed as part of the National Association of Girls’ Corps, with Units mainly in southern England. Its objective was congruent with that of the Sea Cadet Corps, teaching girls the same seamanship skills as the SCC taught the boys
By 1952 The Girl's Naval Training Corps was 50 Units strong and in the late 1950s changed their name to the Girl's Nautical Training Corps.
The GNTC was a colleague organisation with the Sea Cadet Corps, often sharing facilities such as Raven's Ait (then also known as TS Neptune) until 1980, when girls were allowed to join the Sea Cadets, and the organisation was absorbed.
