The bosun’s call was used by the Royal Navy to pass orders.  It is now used for ceremonial as other forms of communication have replaced the need for whistling out orders.  We use the call for piping the following:

 

Still

Carry On

General Announcements

Piping the Side

 

The bosun’s call is worn by our watch leaders and assistants as a badge of rank.
