Through The Explorers programme, Chelsea learnt to take up more initiative to complete the task at hand. She became more sociable with the other kids around her. The various activities organised by The Brigade provided her with the opportunity to volunteer with the friends and mix around with them. Thus helping to instil discipline while building up her own character and confidence.
EXPLORERS
Explorer's Journey

Boys and Girls aged 5 to 6 years old will gain simple skills and values through fun and meaningful activities guided by our trained volunteers and teacher
Uniform
No child is ever too young to be part of a uniformed group. Even at the young of age 5, Girls can go on to fun and exciting adventures to earn visually appealing badges. We believe that introducing a system of achievement and a sense of being part of something bigger , enhances a child’s learning experience and helps shape a better outlook in life. The unisex attire consist of a light blue vest and an optional yellow bucket hat.
JUNIORS
At GB You will be able to spend your time wisely as you get to go on learning journeys and participate in various activities that you probably won’t be able to do so in other CCAs. You will also be able to learn about leadership through camps and programmes that the Officers organise. Through this experience, I’ve learnt to be a better leader by listening and respecting others.
A Junior's Journey
Catered to Girls age 8-12 years old, the Junior programme aims to inculcate good moral values through activity-based programmes. Our well-crafted syllabus encourages Girls to explore the world around them and cultivate a heart of service through practical workshops and activities.
Fast Food & Fuzz Experience
Fast Food and Fuzz Experience is a camp developed to encourage Girls to adopt an attitude of thanksgiving for the things that they have. Through this camp, Girls will learn to live a life beyond the comfort of home - from sleeping on cardboard boxes to only eating simple meals consisting of porridge and sweet potatoes. Girls experience first-hand how it feels to live in the shoes of children undergoing hard and challenging circumstances around the world.
Junior Brigader Broach
Uniform
The design of the Junior uniform speaks of our commitment to every Junior Girl. Her needs are distinct from her Senior counterparts as is her uniform. The sweet and practical look of a Junior frock includes a peter pan collar and a princess cut – with a military styled sash to show her strength and resolve. Crafted with the intent of allowing the ease of movement and showing her achievements.

Unlike any other CCAs in School and social circles in life, I’ve discovered a true community of loving friends. Through the Girls’ Brigade, I’ve also learnt that my disability doesn’t define my ability. The Journeys I experience help strengthen my resilience and discipline. Because of these Officers who are like my older sisters.
Uniform
Combining elements from the Senior Girl’s(haversack) and Officer’s(Frock) uniform, the Tertiary uniform embodies the aspirations for every SPARKS Girl – to step out of her comfort zone and transition into a new season of life – with new friends and new responsibilities, caring for the development and well-being of themselves and the next generation.
