  • The Canadian Cadet Movement and the Boy Scouts of Canada in the Twentieth Century
    “No Mere Child’s Play”: The Canadian Cadet Movement and the Boy Scouts of Canada in the Twentieth Century by Kevin Woodger A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of History University of Toronto © Copyright by Kevin Woodger 2020 “No Mere Child’s Play”: The Canadian Cadet Movement and the Boy Scouts of Canada in the Twentieth Century Kevin Woodger Doctor of Philosophy Department of History University of Toronto Abstract This dissertation examines the Canadian Cadet Movement and Boy Scouts Association of Canada, seeking to put Canada’s two largest uniformed youth movements for boys into sustained conversation. It does this in order to analyse the ways in which both movements sought to form masculine national and imperial subjects from their adolescent members. Between the end of the First World War and the late 1960s, the Cadets and Scouts shared a number of ideals that formed the basis of their similar, yet distinct, youth training programs. These ideals included loyalty and service, including military service, to the nation and Empire. The men that scouts and cadets were to grow up to become, as far as their adult leaders envisioned, would be disciplined and law-abiding citizens and workers, who would willingly and happily accept their place in Canadian society. However, these adult-led movements were not always successful in their shared mission of turning boys into their ideal-type of men. The active participation and complicity of their teenaged members, as peer leaders, disciplinary subjects, and as recipients of youth training, was central to their success.

  • THE ROYAL CANADIAN NAVY 1087 Each Is Responsible for Anti-Submarine Operations Involving RCN and RCAF Forces in His Command
    THE ROYAL CANADIAN NAVY 1087 each is responsible for anti-submarine operations involving RCN and RCAF forces in his Command. The 20 Naval Divisions of the Royal Canadian Naval Reserve are under the over-all command of the Commanding Officer Naval Divisions, with headquarters at Hamilton, Ont. There are naval staffs in London, England, and Washington, D.C., U.S.A., to maintain liaison with the Royal Navy and the United States Navy. As a result of Canada's NATO commitments, officers of the Royal Canadian Navy serve on the staffs of: the Supreme Allied Commander, Atlantic, at Norfolk, Va., in the United States; the Commander-in-Chief, Eastern Atlantic Area, at Northwood in Britain; and the Com­ mander-in-Chief, Western Atlantic Area, at Norfolk, Va. The Flag Officer Atlantic Coast holds the NATO appointment of Commander, Canadian Atlantic Sub-Area. The strength of the RCN on Aug. 31, 1964, was 20,276 officers, men and women in the regular force and 2,875 in the reserve force. Operations at Sea, 1963-64.—During 1963, ships of the RCN spent more than 5,700 days at sea and steamed over 1,000,000 nautical miles on exercises, training exercises, patrols and on passage; naval aviators flew over 5,370,000 nautical miles in 35,600 hours flying and made 3,836 day and night deck landings on board HMCS Bonaventure. HMCS Provider, a 22,000-ton replenishment ship, joined the fleet in September 1963 and, by Sept. 1, 1964, four new Mackenzie class destroyer escorts and one Annapolis class had also joined and one was under construction.

  • Betrayed Studies in Canadian Military History
    Betrayed Studies in Canadian Military History The Canadian War Museum, Canada’s national museum of military history, has a three- fold mandate: to remember, to preserve, and to educate. It does so through an interlocking and mutually supporting combination of exhibitions, public programs, and electronic outreach. Military history, military historical scholarship, and the ways in which Canad- ians see and understand themselves have always been closely intertwined. Studies in Can- adian Military History builds on a record of success in forging those links by regular and innovative contributions based on the best modern scholarship. Published by UBC Press in association with the Museum, the series especially encourages the work of new genera- tions of scholars and the investigation of important gaps in the existing historiography, pursuits not always well served by traditional sources of academic support. The results produced feed immediately into future exhibitions, programs, and outreach efforts by the Canadian War Museum. It is a modest goal that they feed into a deeper understanding of our nation’s common past as well. 1 John Griffith Armstrong, The Halifax Explosion and the Royal Canadian Navy: Inquiry and Intrigue 2 Andrew Richter, Avoiding Armageddon: Canadian Military Strategy and Nuclear Weapons, 1950-63 3 William Johnston, A War of Patrols: Canadian Army Operations in Korea 4 Julian Gwyn, Frigates and Foremasts: The North American Squadron in Nova Scotia Waters, 1745-1815 5 Jeffrey A.
