(Virtual) She Solves Online Training

Dear Guiders,

BAE Systems and Girl Guides Singapore have collaboratively launched a new engineering badge, She Solves, in 2019. Through this programme, Brownies and Guides will learn more about how engineering affects our daily life through participating in the different activities. They will also get to know about the inspiring female engineers and their achievements.

Due to the current COVID-19 situation, we will not be able to carry out a training at Guide House this year. However, there will be an online training (cum challenge) instead, conducted by the engineers of BAE Systems. The aim of this training is to equip the Guides and Brownies from the different divisions to carry out the programme during their respective Division Learning Days. The following is the information for the upcoming session :
