Hence Camp STEEL (Acronym for Standards, Tenacity, Emotional Intelligence, Energy and Leadership), for all Part B cadets as another of the NCC’s contributions to youth development. The main objectives of Camp STEEL are to instill core values and self-discipline as well as to build the character and confidence of our Secondary Two NCC Cadets through military-related activities, in order to adequately prepare them for further leadership training in the Upper Secondary Level. Activities include Leadership and Self-Awareness Workshops, High Confidence Challenge Course, 2-sided paintball shooting, physical fitness training, Navigation and Orienteering Exercise and SAR 21 technical handing. As Camp STEEL is mandatory and a criteria for promotion to CPL for all Part B cadets, COs are urged to ensure full attendance of their Part B cadets. Only under extenuating circumstances such as urgent private affairs or illnesses, are the Part B cadets excused from attending Camp STEEL, in which case, excuse letters, MCs or other supporting documents must be produced.
