Boys Brigade

Key Programmes

One of the key beliefs of the Boys’ Brigade is to serve the community. We thus aim to develop Boys who have the heart and willingness to serve the community and to care for others. Our Boys have had plenty of opportunities to contribute their service for the community through various projects such as the annual BB Share-A-Gift, BB Cares and outreach to kindergartens. The Boys are also involved directly in the planning and execution of meaningful activities to demonstrate their compassion and commitment to the community.

During weekly parades and training over the course of a year, our Boys are exposed to a variety of activities, such as foot drills, kayaking, flying fox. They also attend leadership camps and life skill courses such as first aid, map reading and navigation. At the end of the BB journey, outstanding Boys can aim to attain the Founder’s Award, which is the most prestigious award a student can obtain in the Senior’s Programme.

We have also been training the students to play the bagpipe and drums since last year. Our Boys are given the option to take up the bagpipes or drums and be taught by accomplished trainers. Through this training, our Boys will be presented with the opportunity to perform in various school and brigade-level events such as the annual Speech Day, AMKsian Showcase, JM Fraser ceremony and future outreach sessions in kindergartens.

Annually we attend the enrolment service in April where the members of 64^th BB and 31^st GB companies work closely together to orientate the new Secondary one members and officers into the Company. Due to the situation this year, we instead met online and proceeded with the Promotion Ceremony of our Company members. We are thankful to have 10 new members joining us this year, increasing our company strength for the year to 42.
