Girl Guides
Bukit Panjang Girl Guides aims to groom all guides to be leaders of character and grace, who serve selflessly and with humility. Through weekly activities, the Guides are exposed to valuable skill sets such as organizational, planning, management and peer mediation skills, in a safe and supportive environment. Weekly sessions also aim to promote team building and discipline, as well as encourage critical and flexible thinking.
On top of taking the lead in Unit and Patrol activities, Guides are also given the opportunity to build and strengthen their leadership capabilities by planning and organising events such as the Secondary One Orientation Campfire, annual Girl Guides Camp and West Division Learning Day.
Guiding also creates opportunities for girls to understand current complex issues confronting the world today – such as cyber safety, body confidence and environmental sustainability. Guides are also equipped with outdoor survival skills such as outdoor cooking and gadget-making. HQ-organised activities and competitions equips girls with skills to take action by leading and by participating in service projects, they are able to give back and make an impact on the community.
The company has clinched Gold in the Puan Noor Aishah (PNA) Award for Excellence since 2009. In addition, each year, the Guides are tested on their leadership skills and proficiency in the programme. Guides who do well in the test are awarded the Baden-Powell Award, the highest award given out by the Chief Commissioner to a Guide.
Through the various challenges posed by the rigorous Guides programme, our company has grown to be more confident and united. Together, we aspire to greater heights!
