Online-based learning for Emergency Preparedness Trooper badge – Standard First Aid Certification (SFA)

Dear Girl Guides Singapore in collaboration with People’s Association (PA), are enhancing youths’ emergency preparedness capabilities by launching the Emergency Preparedness Trooper Badge Programme.

This programme is for girls in Secondary 2 and above (Guiders need not be present). Girls must be Singapore Citizens or Permanent Residents. 

Please note that as part of this badge programme, the Guides / YAs would be required to complete the following:

• 2 days of First-Aid Training and become a certified First-Aider
• At least 2 events with either People’s Association, Girl Guides Singapore, or their school to apply their first-aider skills 

These events include:

• sharing of lifesaving trainings to residents
• assisting SCDF trainers in the demonstration of CPR-AED techniques and procedures
• providing first-aid coverage for large scale events.

2 Days’ Training is broken down into

• 1 day: self-directed, virtual learning that the Guide / YA will be required to complete before attending the physical training’s session
• 1 day: physical training for CPR-AED

The badge is applicable to both a Girl Guide, Young Adult and Adult Leaders. Adult Leaders are also welcome to join in, however, the badge attained cannot be sewn on the uniform.

We look forward to your participation in this meaningful programme that empowers our girls to serve with skill and confidence.
