Girl Guides
Being part of the international guiding movement, BDS Guides hopes to build girls of courage, confidence, and character, who seek to serve the people around them with their gifts and passion. Abiding by our motto “Be prepared”, we seek to provide unparalleled opportunities for girls to discover and develop their fullest potential, to equip them with skills that will enable them to become responsible citizens of the world.

Programmes
Our company runs in a patrol system, where girls of different levels learn and grow together. We empower girls through unique programmes, support their growth through friendships and build their leadership abilities through various opportunities. The seniors will encourage and train their juniors through role modelling and demonstrations. This “girl-led” structure creates a safe space for all girls to grow to be confident leaders and caring individuals, and what better opportunity to develop the girls than to let them learn from their own counterparts.
“May you grow up to be righteous, may you grow up to be true. May you always know the truth and see the lights surrounding you. May you always be courageous, stand upright and be strong. May you stay forever young.” – Bob Dylan
Our girls may be young and seemingly insignificant, but as Guides we believe that we can be the spark of light that influences people around us to change for the good of the society. This year, our girls have embarked on a few advocacy projects, addressing topics related to climate change, kindness, gender inequality, body confidence and mental wellness. Through these events, we hope our girls create awareness and strengthen one's conviction to value humanity and be good stewards of the world we live in.
Achievements
2022 has been a bountiful year for BDS Guides. As a company, we have bagged some awards at division and national level competitions. Through these experiences, the girls have learnt to lead, collaborate and work as a team, to support one another to achieve their goals. Everyone was given opportunities to use their talents and interest for the company’s achievement. We worked hard and played hard too!
