The AMKSS Girl Guides Company strives to develop young girls into compassionate and confident youth leaders and mentors who have a keen interest in giving back to the community. The Girl Guides has iterated the slogan “Be Prepared” for any situation and accordingly employ essential survival skills such as camp craft and field cooking. Through instilling moral values, the Girl Guides serves to develop the girls’ characters. They are also exposed to social issues around the world which widens their world view in many different ways which allows them to become independent individuals with a greater gusto for life.
The Guiding 5-point programme ensures the holistic development of every single guide. This is achieved through fulfilling clauses which are namely: Personal and social development, Home, Outdoor, Community and International. To make the Guiding experience more enriching, we have also collaborated with various organisations and units to conduct basic first-aid training, air pistol and kayaking workshops.
World Thinking Day, South Division Day, skills sharing, outdoor camping and community services are a regular part of the Girl Guides programme. Through these activities, our Guides learn the true meaning of commitment, leadership, teamwork and trust.
This year, some of the Guides were enrolled in the Singapore Cancer Society Smoke-Free Ambassador’s programme. Guides not only learnt about the harmful effects of smoking, they also took on an active role in advocating anti-smoking to other students. Our Guides also take on the role of ambassadors at Gardens By The Bay. In addition to acquiring valuable knowledge on the sustainability efforts of the garden, they conduct garden trails and facilitate educational programmes for visitors. Additionally, our Guides learnt and advocated mental wellness through the Mental Health Badge Programme and learnt about science from the “She Solves Engineering” badge designed by BAE Systems UK Engineering.
Secondary 3 Girl Guides had the exciting opportunity to conduct two workshops on fitness workout and the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts (WAGGGS) leadership model on South Division Day. Sharing their knowledge with Girl Guides from other schools built their confidence further.
AMKSS Girl Guides Unit will continue to provide a nurturing and fun environment that recognises and maximises the diverse strengths of the girls and cater to their holistic development.
