National Association of Training Corps for Girls

[8] The GTC's purpose, as with other cadet organisations at the time, was to prepare young people for service to their community and to support in the war effort upon reaching adulthood.

Unlike their male counterparts, members of the GTC had to provide their own uniforms using clothing coupons.

[2] After the war, following advice from the Youth Advisory Council, there was greater emphasis in the GTC training programme to recognise the girls as "a potential wife and mother".

[26][27][28][29] The GNTC became a colleague organisation with the Sea Cadet Corps in 1963,[23] often sharing facilities such as Raven's Ait (then also known as TS Neptune).

Both WJAC and the GTC were also active in supporting local governments in areas such as health initiatives, an example being providing vitamins to school children.

[2][37][38][39] After the War, WJAC continued with many of the same activities including supporting the community in health initiatives.

[42] In 1964 The GTC and WJAC amalgamated to become the Girls Venture Corps, with the addition of "Air Cadets" added to the title in 1987.

From 1983 girls were accepted into the ACF and ATC, which caused many GVC cadets to transfer to their respective counterparts.
