Juniors Programme


The Juniors Programme has the second largest membership in the Boys' Brigade in Singapore (BB). Run in the primary schools, Boys aged 8 to 12 years old attend weekly parades to develop practical skills An exciting array of activities has been planned for the Boys. Through weekly parades, camps and bonding activities, Boys are developed in the following aspects:

  • Global Awareness
Boys connect with the rich history and legacy of BB as a local, regional and global movement, and develop a personal sense of mission as a member of the organisation.

  • Community Spiritedness
Boys explore the various societal needs present in the community while working together to plan and execute a community service project. Through this aspect, Boys develop empathy while caring for the society around them. Closer to their community, Boys are able to focus on family values through the BB's partnership with Focus on the Family Singapore as the Boys build a strong foundation for building and deepening familial relationships.

  • Personal Mastery
Boys identify with mental and physical disciplines like time management, squad drills and reflection, to grow personal effectiveness and preparedness.

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

My time in the Boys’ Brigade (BB) has been a very meaningful experience. Through the BB, I have made new friends and shared many memorable moments together. Most importantly, BB taught me important values such as discipline and respect.


When I first joined BB in Primary 3, I was not disciplined and would often misbehave. However, with my instructors’ firm but patient guidance, I slowly began to change. I learned to listen, follow instructions and behave better. Over time, I became more attentive and responsible. BB has also taught me the importance of respect. When elderly people from an old folks’ home visited our school, I was not very interested at first, thinking it would be boring. However, after interacting with them and playing games together, I enjoyed the friendliness and fun I had with them. This experience taught me to respect the elderly and be kind to the people around me.


Looking back, the Boys’ Brigade taught me much more than drills, knot-tying, and fun activities. It instilled in me important values that I carry with me every day. I am truly grateful to the Boys' Brigade for helping me grow into a more disciplined and gracious person.
