Year 4 Everest, Assistant Company Leader, 2023
From my experience in Girl Guides, I have learned the importance of having a passion for sharing knowledge and compassion towards the junior Guides.
As an Assistant Company Leader from 2023 to 2024, I have learned to be a role model who was able to inspire my junior Guides and be an approachable mentor for them. After stepping down, watching my juniors grow to be the new generation of leaders to guide the company to greater heights such as the PNA Gold award. During my time in Girl Guides, I was able to create wonderful friendships with other guides from the different events that I had taken part in such as NDP 2023. With this, I hope that many more people will be open to joining uniformed groups, especially Girl Guides, as it is an opportunity to understand and improve your leadership skills. Even if it is hard, to know that there will always be people supporting you, be it the patrol members, juniors, seniors and even the Guiders.
I have learnt the importance of having discipline and compassionate leadership in Girl Guides.

NPCC has significantly enhanced my problem-solving skills by exposing me to real-world challenges, such as adapting to sudden plan changes and addressing emergencies, allowing me to quickly find effective solutions and maintain a positive mindset.
Through NPCC, I have learned the values of discipline, leadership, and service to the community. What I enjoy most is the camaraderie and the sense of accomplishment that comes from working together to overcome challenges and achieve our goals.
The skills and values I’ve gained from NPCC, such as effective time management, adaptability, and a strong sense of discipline, will be invaluable in my future endeavors, helping me to navigate challenges, prioritize tasks, and stay committed to my goals.

NCDCC

As an NCDCC leader, I have witnessed firsthand the profound impact this CCA has on our cadets. Through rigorous training in first aid, fire safety, and emergency response, our members gain invaluable practical skills that are crucial in real-world situations.
The values we instill—Noble, Caring, Disciplined, Courageous, Commited—are foundational for their personal growth. The cadets take pride in their ability to help others, fostering a strong sense of community spirit. They also enjoy the camaraderie and the hands-on nature of our activities, such as learning the CPR and useful first aid skills, which keep them engaged and motivated.
These experiences not only prepare them for potential careers in healthcare or emergency services but also ensure they are well-rounded individuals ready to face future challenges with confidence and compassion.

Scouts

In Scouts, one does not only practice outdoor survival skills such as the starting of fires, but also learn soft skills such as how to lead a group of people. It is an inclusive community that allows for every Scout to forge new bonds with people of different ages and cultures and create many good memories through experiences such as camps.
My Scouting experience in Secondary school has been an exciting one. Our Unit Camp this year gave us the opportunity to plan and execute the many activities that made our Camp a memorable one. There were moments of disagreement and misunderstanding but we managed to work them out. These experiences allowed us to develop ourselves not only as leaders, but also as better friends, and ultimately better people.
In these 3 years, I have made many new friends, and have seen my peers and myself develop our skills. The many Scouting activities have allowed us to bond, especially through overcoming obstacles that stand in our way.
