The Seniors Programme has the largest membership numbers amongst the four programmes in The Boys' Brigade. Run in the secondary schools, Boys aged 13 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).

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.

hear from a bb boy!

I was a relatively quiet and timid Boy in Secondary One. Four years in BB have past and I have grown so much after going through numerous training camps, competitions and organising various Values-in-Action activities. This is why today, I am more bold, confident, and decisive in making decisions.

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."
