SKM Kindness Badge Award (Guides)

Dear Guide Guiders, 

The Kindness Badge is a mark of distinction awarded by SKM to students in the Uniformed Groups (UGs). It recognises their efforts at completing projects promoting kindness and graciousness within their schools and community. Participating students will hone their critical thinking skills and creativity through the ideation and implementation of projects addressing social issues.

The KBA programme returns in 2023 with its two phases:

KBA Phase I: UGs will select a workshop type to attend.

A) Workshop on valuable skills to implement in-person outreach projects (For physical initiatives championing kindness)
B) Workshop on social media content creation skills (For digital campaigns championing kindness)

Both workshops will cover various kindness themes and design-thinking tools, preparing students for their projects in KBA Phase 2.

Workshop registration may be done through our KBA website at https://badge.kindness.sg/events/.

KBA Phase 2: Using the skills gained from Phase I, students will team up to plan a kindness campaign) and submit a project proposal to SKM for approval before the project execution. Projects may be implemented on online platforms, in school or in the community to create awareness on a selected kindness theme. Report submission to SKM is required after project completion.

Each Unit can submit a maximum of 3 projects.

Students who complete both KBA Phases I and 2 will be invited to our Kindness Awards Ceremony in January 2024 to receive their Kindness Badge and certificate.

The timeline for KBA 2023 is as follows:

Note: Students attending the KBA workshops (Phase I) held from July to August 2023 may complete their projects (Phase 2) the following year and will attain the kindness badge in 2024.
