On 6 December 2025, the SMU Concourse came alive with Currents of Change, a sustainability-themed festival organised by girls who participated in the 2024 Iceland expedition under the Girls Inspired to Rise and Lead (GIRL) Adventure Programme. As part of the programme, Following the expeditions, the team will undertake a Community Impact Project to extend the programme’s positive effects. Supported by the SG Eco Fund, the festival served as their Community Impact Project, raising awareness on water conservation in Singapore.

Conceptualised and executed by the girls, the festival brought together a vibrant mix of advocacy, creativity and community engagement. Highlights included an eco-themed open mic featuring guest poets and a band, as well as a panel discussion with youth and community advocates, who shared insights on local water conservation efforts.

The event also featured 13 vendors, ranging from climate advocacy groups to environmentally-conscious retail brands, alongside community partners such as Daysprings, Koficlay and The Fashion Pulpit. Together, they created an interactive space for festival-goers to learn more about sustainability and take small steps towards more eco-friendly living.

The inspiration behind Currents of Change was shaped by the girls’ experiences in Iceland, where they explored glaciers, geothermal sites and sustainability-focused attractions. Visits to places such as Perlan’s Wonders of Iceland, Hellisheiði Geothermal Power Plant, and the Reykjavík Maritime Museum deepened their understanding of renewable energy and climate action. A particularly impactful moment was witnessing the effects of climate change at Sólheimajökull Glacier, where visible glacial retreat brought the urgency of environmental issues to life.

“This impact project allowed me to grow through the process of translating our experiences in Iceland into a meaningful initiative back home. I learnt to transform personal reflections and first hand experiences on glacier melt and climate change impacts into conversations, educational activities, and opportunities for public engagement,” reflected Deenah Aliah, a Young Adult participant of the 2024 Iceland expedition.

Through Currents of Change, the girls demonstrated not only their passion for climate action, but also their ability to plan and deliver a meaningful ground-up initiative — inspiring others to be part of the movement towards a more sustainable future.

On 7th February 2026, we came together to celebrate a truly special milestone — the 100th anniversary of World Thinking Day (WTD100). Held at Singapore Expo, the event brought together more than 5,000 Brownies and Guides in a vibrant and heartfelt celebration of friendship, service, and sisterhood.

This year’s celebration centred on the theme “Our Friendship,” guided by the values of Promise, Appreciate, and Love. The atmosphere throughout the day reflected these values, as girls connected, shared experiences, and celebrated what it truly means to be part of a global Guiding community.

In line with Girl Guide Singapore (GGS)’s commitment to being girl-led, WTD100 was planned and executed by six 17-year-old recipients of the 2024 President’s Guide Award. The team led all aspects of the event, including budgeting, vendor negotiations, video production, and media strategy, gaining hands-on leadership experience and empowering them as future changemakers.

The celebration was made even more meaningful with the presence of over 160 international delegates from across the Asia-Pacific region, including Member Organisations from Bangladesh, Malaysia, Hong Kong, India, Brunei Darussalam, Maldives, and Sri Lanka. Their visit, which spanned several days, included participation in the main event, visits to local Guide units, and opportunities to experience Singapore. These interactions fostered cross-cultural understanding and strengthened friendships that extend far beyond borders.

A key highlight of WTD100 was the launch of Service100 during the formal ceremony, a special initiative commemorating 100 years of World Thinking Day. Through this initiative, every Brownie and Guide unit is encouraged to pledge at least 100 hours of meaningful community service throughout the year. With 140 units across Singapore, this collective effort represents one of the largest youth-led volunteer movements in the nation, empowering girls and young women to make a tangible difference in their communities.

Community service has always been at the heart of Guiding. From past collaborations with the People’s Association to pack close to 1,000 first aid kits, to historical contributions during the Bukit Ho Swee fire, GGS has consistently demonstrated a strong commitment to service. At the event, partners such as the People’s Association and St. Luke’s Eldercare also engaged participants through booths, offering insights into meaningful ways they can continue contributing to society.

The day’s programme featured a range of thoughtfully designed activities that brought the theme “Our Friendship” to life, allowing our girls to forge and celebrate meaningful and lasting friendships. The ‘Friendship Village’ showcased unit-led booths centred on Love for Self, Love for Learning, Love for Community, and Love for the Environment, highlighting the diverse ways Guides express care and compassion. The Postcard Exchange encouraged participants to reflect on meaningful friendships through handwritten messages, while the Friendship Bracelet Exchange saw girls sharing handmade tokens as symbols of connection and unity. 

A commemorative “100 Years of World Thinking Day” video added a reflective touch to the celebration, featuring voices from across generations sharing their experiences and memories. Complementing this was the “Humans of GGS” media campaign, inspired by storytelling platforms, which spotlighted personal stories of friendship, growth, and belonging within the Guiding community.

As the celebration came to a close, it was clear that this milestone was not just about looking back on 100 years of history, but also about looking forward. With initiatives like Service100 and the continued passion of its members, GGS remains committed to nurturing future generations of girls and young women to lead with empathy, build meaningful connections, and create positive change in the world. Cheers to the next century together!

World Thinking Day: STEM Launch

Written by: Celestine Ng,
2024 PGA Recipient, Young Adult,

On 21st February 2025, we excitedly launched the KLA Badge under the STEM Changemakers programme.

The STEM Changemakers programme, a ground breaking collaboration between the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts (WAGGGS) and the KLA Foundation, is set to empower girls across the Asia-Pacific region with vital STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) skills. This 2.5-year initiative brings together three key Member Organisations in the region – Girl Guides Singapore, Girl Guides Association Malaysia, and Girl Scouts of Taiwan – to inspire and equip girls aged 11 to 17 to become the STEM leaders of tomorrow.

The STEM Changemakers programme is more than just a series of STEM activities, it is about building confidence, promoting gender equality, and equip girls with essential skills for leadership, project management, and teamwork. The programme aims to engage girls in non-formal education, utilising WAGGGS’ customized STEM activities to inspire young girls to explore and excel in the world of STEM. Central to the programme’s goals is the empowerment of girls by highlighting successful women in STEM and reinforcing the role of Girl Guides Singapore in STEM education.

Incorporating WAGGGS’ Leadership Mindsets into the curriculum will further develop the leadership potential of the participants, nurturing their ability to make a real-world impact in their communities and beyond.

The programme’s impact will unfold over several phases: In the first year, the focus will be on co-creating a STEM curriculum that is both girl-led and locally relevant. Through collaboration with the Member Organisations, the programme will ensure that the curriculum reflects the unique needs and interests of girls across the Asia-Pacific region. The aim is to integrate engaging STEM activities that also advocate for gender equality in these fields.

In the second year, the programme will shift focus to training Senior Adult Volunteer Facilitators, who will then cascade their knowledge to Young Adults and Adult Leaders. This phase will involve an 18-month rollout to reach 800 Girl Guides, ensuring that the programme has a sustainable impact and continues to engage future generations of girls.

Looking ahead, the programme also plans to expand its reach through Campfire, WAGGGS’ virtual learning platform, making the content available in all WAGGGS official languages. This expansion will ensure broader accessibility and support for girls globally.

This programme is designed to have a lasting effect. GGS has committed to training over 50 Young Adults and Leaders, involving 800 Girl Guides, and impacting over 1,600 lives. This effort underscores the importance of sustained engagement and long-term empowerment for girls in STEM.

To mark the official launch of the STEM Changemakers programme, we were honored to welcome Mr Ray Chua, Senior Director of Human Resources at KLA Singapore, to deliver an inspiring speech. Following his address, the stage was set for a symbolic and exciting moment in the programme’s launch.

In a fitting tribute to the power of STEM, three volcanoes were set up on stage. As part of a live demonstration, our guests – including Ms. Candela Gonzalez, Chair of the WAGGGS World Board, Mrs. Koh-Teh Yi Wen, Chief Commissioner of Girl Guides Singapore,
and Ms. Jane Lum, Senior Manager, Human Resources at KLA Foundation – activated the volcanoes by pouring vinegar into them, triggering an eruption. This demonstration, representing an acid-base reaction between vinegar and baking soda, symbolized the explosive potential of girls in STEM, sparking curiosity, fueling innovation, and encouraging the breaking of barriers.

The eruption marked the beginning of a new chapter for these young changemakers, igniting their passion for discovery and learning.

The evening also marked the launch of the Siemens Energy-WAGGGS Girls for Green Energy (G4GE) Programme. We were honored to have Ms Amy Long, a representative from Siemens Energy, deliver an inspiring speech on female empowerment within her corporation and beyond, particularly in the STEM sector.

As these two programmes unfold, it is clear that the future of STEM is bright, powered by the curiosity, innovation, and leadership of girls. Each small step in this programme is a giant leap toward a more inclusive and dynamic future in STEM, where girls and women are at the forefront of ground breaking discoveries.

We invite everyone to be part of this movement. Explore, innovate, lead, and shape a brighter future in STEM. Every great idea begins with curiosity, and every breakthrough begins with a single step. Let’s continue to inspire and empower the next generation of STEM leaders!

WTD 2025 Celebrations & Record Breaking Banner

Written by: Rachel Malcolm,
2022 PGA Recipient, Young Adult,

On February 22, 2025, over 5,000 Girl Guides and Brownies gathered at the Singapore Expo to celebrate World Thinking Day—a time of reflection, appreciation, and gratitude for the movement that has shaped and inspired generations of young women.

This year’s celebration was unlike any other. For the first time ever, the event was fully youth-led. Six of our 2023 President’s Guide Awardees took on the challenge as Young Adults, leading the charge in planning and executing the celebration. From coordinating the formal ceremony to welcoming international participants, these dedicated young leaders spent months meticulously crafting an unforgettable experience.

The theme for World Thinking Day 2025, “Our Story,” resonated deeply with the team. They were determined to bring this theme to life through meaningful storytelling and interactive activities. One of the most impactful initiatives was the launch of “Humans of GGS”, an online video series showcasing the diverse voices within our movement. These heartfelt clips provided a glimpse into the personal journeys of our members—their reasons for joining Guiding, the lessons they’ve learned, and the inspirations that drive them to give back.

Taking the theme even further, our Guides embarked on a bold creative endeavour—constructing a giant fabric mural, a tapestry of stories woven together, each square representing a defining moment in our movement’s history. The project was led by Javelle, one of the Young Adults, who reflected on the challenges of selecting materials, finding suitable adhesives, and piecing the mural together. Despite the obstacles, witnessing their vision come to life was a deeply fulfilling experience.

On World Thinking Day itself, this incredible mural was officially inaugurated into the Singapore Book of Records as the largest banner covered in fabric pieces with handwritten notes—a testament to the collective spirit, creativity, and resilience of our Guiding community.

As we look back on this historic and youth-empowered World Thinking Day, we are reminded of the power of our stories and the limitless possibilities ahead. Together, we continue to celebrate our past, shape our present, and inspire the future of Guiding.

Happy World Thinking Day 2024!

Dear GGS Members,

Happy World Thinking Day! 

Every year on February 22nd, Girl Guides around the world come together to celebrate our Movement and reaffirm our commitment to our Guide Laws. Here is the link to our World Thinking Day Message 2024. Thank you to all the Brownies, Guides and YAs who came together to be part of this video.

Our Guide Promise, “I promise to do my best”, signifies our dedication to personal growth, leadership development, and serving both the Guiding community and beyond. This year’s theme, “Our World, Our Thriving Future”, prompts us to delve into critical global issues such as mental and physical well-being, as well as environmental sustainability. Let us continue to advocate for these causes and strive for positive change. 

Thank you to everyone for making World Thinking Day 2024 a resounding success! From the inspiring girl-led projects to the engaging competitions and wide game activities, it was heartwarming to see all the girls leaving with smiles, marking our largest in-person event since the pandemic.

At the Headquarters level, we remain committed to being a vital partner and resource for schools and young girls. Two Guides from Bukit Panjang Government High School led all our members in a mass mindfulness practice on February 17th, fostering holistic development. We will continue to collaborate with key stakeholders to enhance our interest badges and provide a safe and nurturing environment for all.

We each have our own stories of how Guiding has transcended personal development, empowering us to become active and compassionate citizens contributing positively to society. We are dedicated to providing our girls and young women with opportunities to become future-ready female leaders. We are committed to offering more international programs for our girls, fostering global connections and perspectives.

Finally, none of these ambitious plans would have come to fruition without the leadership, time, and dedication of our volunteers, staff, and the enthusiasm of our girls. A heartfelt thank you goes out to the leadership team of the National Council and Commissioners in the Executive Committee, as well as the dedicated staff of GGS, for spearheading efforts to ensure our programs remain relevant to our girls.

To all our Young Adults, Adult Leaders and members of the Trefoil Guild, your unwavering commitment to providing a safe space for our girls to develop is truly commendable. As we look ahead to the coming year, I look forward to witnessing more volunteers stepping forward and more girls participating in our programs, as we work together towards serving the community and advocating for our causes.

Do also take a moment this week to cherish the camaraderie with your fellow Guiding friends!

Once again, Happy World Thinking Day! WTD2024

Yours-in-Guiding,

Reflections and Friendships Made in NDP 2023

I was very stressed by the thought of trying out for NDP. I felt that I had too many after-school activities, and I was worried that I couldn’t do the foot drills well as some moves were new to me, such as marching while holding an umbrella upright!

I was not confident that I could do it but the older Sister Guides in my school convinced me that it was an opportunity I should not miss. Speaking to them, I realised that they weren’t able to join last year due to COVID-19, and that made me feel like I had to go to NDP to represent the school and Girl Guides to make them proud.

We have been training for the past 9 weeks, and everyone in the contingent, especially the Young Adult Leaders, have been really understanding and patient with me. Reflecting back, I feel that NDP was a place where I learned to be serious and have fun at the same time. I have grown to feel comfortable with the contingent, and I feel very confident in overcoming the challenges ahead. NDP has been an enjoyable escape from the hustle and bustle of activities.

Other Girl Guides from other schools in the contingent have taught me so many new things and I have made friends with them without feeling awkward. I appreciate all the time I have spent with them as they have shaped me into a better person and motivated me to last through these last few weeks.

In the beginning, I didn’t really have any close friends in the contingent as I didn’t know anyone, and was a bit awkward with those other people around me. However, as time went by, I got closer to my juniors and made so many new friends along the way. I feel really happy that I have found a close friend in Sherryn, as she made me realise many things about myself, and also helped me to spot any mistakes in my foot drills. She has helped me to become more outgoing and to be more confident with her encouraging words.

NDP made me realise that Girl Guides as an organisation is one where all are really kind and loving towards all Guides. I feel really blessed to have such kind and understanding Young Adult Leaders.

I am very proud of Singapore for all the progress and achievements we have been blessed with and I wish Singapore a very prosperous year ahead. I would like to thank Changkat Changi Girl Guides for giving me this golden opportunity to participate in NDP 2023 as a Company Leader.

My Unforgettable Journey at NDP 2023: A Time of Growth, Friendship, and Gratitude

When I first decided to participate in NDP 2023, I had mixed emotions. My perception of NDP was shaped by stories from my seniors who described it as a physically and mentally challenging experience. However, I also heard tales of camaraderie and the immense pride that came with being part of such a significant event. Despite some hesitation, I seized the opportunity, and signed up for it anyway.

Since joining NDP, the initial worries and uncertainties have faded away, replaced by a profound sense of fulfilment. Despite the sacrifices made during the June holiday, I have come to realise that the personal growth and the memories forged during this journey are truly worth every moment of effort and determination.

I learned the importance of patience, resilience, and optimism, as the training progressed. The challenges I faced only strengthened my resolve, pushing me to exceed my own limitations. There were moments when I felt overwhelmed and on the brink of giving up, but it was precisely during those times that I discovered my inner strength and determination to keep going. The journey has made me more confident in my abilities and has shown me the power of perseverance.

Alongside personal growth, I have had the privilege of forging deep friendships. Throughout the training sessions, I had the opportunity to interact with fellow participants from different schools. Together, we navigated through the joys and challenges of this shared experience. These newfound friendships have enriched my journey, fostering a sense of camaraderie and unity that will forever hold a special place in my heart.

Participating in NDP has also reinforced my positive views of the Girl Guides organization. The values of teamwork, discipline, and dedication that Girl Guides instils in us were instrumental in my journey. The organisation has provided a supportive environment and a platform for personal growth, empowering young individuals like myself to make a difference.

As I reflect upon my journey, I am filled with gratitude for my family’s unwavering support throughout this endeavour. Their encouragement and belief in me kept me motivated during the most challenging of times. Their presence in the stands during the actual event will be a beacon of pride, reminding me of the significance of this momentous occasion.

One of my birthday wishes for Singapore is that it continues to foster unity, resilience, and progress. May we always strive towards a society that values diversity, empathy, and sustainability, ensuring a bright and promising future for all Singaporeans.

Among the countless memories created, one stands out as my “core memory” from NDP. I was deeply honoured to be elected by my NDP trainees to receive the Star Award, which acknowledges outstanding individuals who have made a significant impact during their respective training sessions, at our very first training session. It was a humbling experience to be recognized and appreciated for the effort I had put in, igniting a fire within me to continue working hard and to make a positive difference to those around me.

As the training sessions draw to a close, I am filled with relief, knowing that the momentous day is approaching. However, I am determined to treasure every remaining moment of this unforgettable journey. NDP 2023 has taught me unforgettable lessons, allowed me to forge everlasting friendships, and deepened my love and pride for Singapore.

I am immensely grateful for this opportunity, and I am eagerly looking forward to contributing my heartfelt dedication to making NDP 2023 a celebration of unity, resilience, and joy.
