Footdrill Proficiency Badge Course
01/11/2025 @ 8:00 am - 1:00 pm
Dear Guide Guiders,
Girl Guides Singapore is collaborating with various partners to ensure standards of foot drill adhere. Through drill, habits of precision and response to a Leader’s orders are instilled. As a uniformed group, we recognize that drill helps to instill discipline, unity and respect. It is the fastest and most efficient way of gathering girls or moving them in an orderly manner.
The Footdrill Proficiency Badge can only be attained through attending the Footdrill Proficiency Badge Course and passing the assessment. The clauses for the Footdrill Proficiency Badge can be found in Annex 1.

This empowering of our Girls will build a sustainable model towards overcoming the challenges of having volunteers to commit their time on weekdays for their contribution to the respective Units.
