A book of poems depicting the plight of people living with different mental illnesses, a video interview with an elderly lady who lives alone... In the Dr Low Guat Tin national challenge, GB Girls tried to give voice to the most vulnerable members of our society through creative and inspiring entries.

Heeding the maxim that “experience is the best teacher”, the annual GB Fast, Food, and Fuzz Camp offers Girls a taste of what it’s like to be a person in need. 

After an 8-year hiatus, the NCOTC saw 250 Seniors Girls from different Companies gathering together for a time of learning, and also much fun.

110 GB Girls stepped up to befriend more than 150 vulnerable Singaporeans with different needs at the launch of the Girls’ Brigade Friend in Deed (GBFD) project.

Girls in The Girls’ Brigade Singapore (GBS) will begin donning a new uniform this year, marking the first major change to the GB uniform since its founding in 1927.

We often imagine awesome leaders as charismatic visionaries who never make mistakes, are well-respected, and succeed through sheer hard work and talent. But how realistic is this picture, and is that really the type of leader we’d like to follow or become?

From late July to early August this year, 283 of our youngest cadets embarked on a camp to learn more about poverty, and the people who live under those conditions.

Apart from fulfilling 3,000 individual wishes from recipients around Singapore this year, the Girls’ Brigade Singapore also partnered with South West Community Development Council (SWCDC) and local carpenters, Roger&Sons to build made-to-measure, sustainable furniture for households in need.

The Girls’ Brigade Awards Ceremony recognises Companies for their performance, as well as the exceptional young women who have earned their Junior Brigader and Pioneer Brigader (JBB & PBB) Brooches – the highest accomplishment for any GB Junior or Senior.

Girls from 39 Secondary and 34 Primary Schools impressed many with their extraordinary music drill performances, marching to some of the latest pop songs at GB’s first carnival-styled drill competition.

Imagine working with a team you’ve just met a day ago to plan and run a carnival for nearly 400 people - your parents, no less. Daunting? Perhaps. But that’s exactly what 239 plucky 11-year-olds did during this year’s Junior Leaders’ Training Camp (JLTC).

Trials don't end our dreams - they lead us to where we're supposed to be!

Singapore’s first-ever youth forum on Homelessness saw 300 GB Girls and teenagers meeting virtually and in person to listen to the stories of ex rough-sleepers, social workers and policymakers.

In the blink of an eye, the Girls’ Brigade Singapore turns 95. It’s by no accident that we have been able to thrive as one of Singapore’s oldest uniformed CCAs!

Everyone was a winner at the Dr Low Guat Tin Challenge Awards Ceremony on 13 August 2022!

We hoisted up our ankle socks to fulfill another 3,000 wishes for vulnerable residents - this time living all across Singapore
