Welcome to the online home of Campbell College CCF, based in Belfast, Northern Ireland. We are one of the oldest Contingents in the UK, and proudly boast being the first in Ireland. We have a rich history that has endured through the 110 years of our existence in no small part to the role our cadets and dedicated Cadet Force Adult Volunteers play. This site is aimed at cadets in all three sections of our tri-service cadet force, including our pipe band. You can learn more by viewing a short photographic history of our Contingent.
Just visiting?
We acknowledge in the internet age there will be visitors from across the wider cadet force. While this site is aimed at supporting the continued development of cadets currently enrolled in Campbell College CCF, there will be resources just as useful to cadets from other units. Please feel free to use this site and share any resources you find useful.
