The Seniors Programme has the largest membership numbers amongst the four programmes in The Boys' Brigade. Conducted in the Secondary Schools, Boys aged 12 to 17 attend weekly meetings known as Parades during designated CCA hours.

Activities are planned across the year so as to allow them to maximise their physical energy, cultivate a spirit of serving the community and develop important leadership qualities during their journey as a Senior Boy.

We develop our Boys through the Proficiency Awards Scheme, where they acquire skills and knowledge in the four domains of Global Awareness, Community Spiritedness, Personal Mastery and Leadership (see below for detailed description of each domain):

Global Awareness

Through projects and information technology modules, our Boys investigate local and global issues and brainstorm solutions that they can implement to make a change in the world.

Community Spiritedness

Boys explore the social needs in Singapore and lead in building up the local community by organising activities that benefit specific sector needs, for example, the elderly.

Personal Mastery

Boys nurture discipline, perseverance and adaptability through exposure to different activities and the learning of new skills.

Leadership

Boys discover the basic building blocks of relational influence in the foundational leadership habits of encouragement, social initiative, trustworthiness and service to others.

The National Leadership Assessment Camps are run three times a year to access the Boys' competencies in the skills and knowledge mentioned above. We believe in the cultivation of good values and social outlooks through the activities and events our Boys are encouraged to participate.

In addition, brigade-level competitions, leadership development courses and community service projects such as BB Share-a-Gift and BB CARES offer opportunities for exposure and skills development. Mentoring also plays a big role in the Seniors Programme. With Intentional Mentoring, Boys are closely mentored by dedicated Officers who take time to develop Boys' character more closely.

Our Boys also represent the Brigade in national-level events such as the National Day Parade.

"I will never forget the camps we have gone through in BB, such

as the leadership development camps and the sergeant

camp. I recalled the sweat, effort and teamwork we put into

complete expeditions and tasks. I learnt important values and

qualities of a leader through leading a team through an expedition."

"Daniel became a more confident person after joining BB as his

CCA. I am very happy to see him looking forward to attending
every training session as he had a very supportive and approachable environment in BB. I would like to thank the BB for giving Daniel
the love, care and guidance that makes him a proud son I have
today."

"When I first joined The Boys' Brigade (BB), I was disappointed, as it was

not my first choice. Little did I know that it would become one of the most transformative experiences of my life.

This transformation did not happen overnight. I experienced this first-hand when I was appointed Company Sergeant Major (CSM), where I faced trials that pushed me to my limits and experienced repeated failures. An example would be failing my first promotion test to Staff Sergeant (SSG). Though it

was disheartening, I took my Officers’ feedback seriously and sought to improve and do better for the retest. My efforts paid off, and I was promoted

to SSG.

Today, if someone asked me about BB, I would say that I am deeply grateful. What started out as something I dreaded became something I cherish. BB

has equipped me with values and skills that will last a lifetime."
