The Boys’ Brigade (BB) and The Girls’ Brigade (GB) are Christian-based uniformed youth organisations which operate in local schools as Co-Curricular Activities (CCA). ARPC sponsors 4 BB Companies (5th, 34th, 42nd & 66th) and 2 GB Companies (12th & 28th) in four schools in Woodlands (Marsiling Secondary and Woodlands Secondary Schools), Bukit Timah (Nanyang Primary School) and Bishan (Kuo Chuan Presbyterian Secondary School). Total number of the Boys & Girls is 150.

The Boys & Girls come from a wide spectrum of the society. There are some who travel daily from Johor Bahru to attend school here. There are those whose parents work long hours and these students return to an empty home. There are also those who come from dysfunctional families where their differences becomes a barrier. However, one common denominator which cut across this wide spectrum is love.

Each Boy or Girl is an individual, created in God’s image, who needs to be redeemed by God. BBGB, for many of them, is their first encounter with Christianity. Through BBGB Ministry, they get to hear the Good News proclaimed. 80% of the students are non-believers. They are captive audience for a good four to five years with us. Through these four to five years, we want to seize every opportunity to teach them who God is & the difference He makes in our life.

The Good News of our Lord Christ is also shared through our teaching and modelling of our lives. There are tremendous opportunity to share the good news with the students. Many of them lack a role model and we play a key role in providing godly role models in their life.

ARPC members/regulars serve as Officers and helpers to reach out to the Boys and Girls. Each adult co-worker is a conduit and channel for God’s love to flow through to the Boys and Girls. We provide fun, meaningful and challenging activities like Christian Education, Leadership Development, Community Service and Global Awareness. Through our weekly interaction with the youths, we build relationships with them, love them and provide guidance and mentorship to nurture them in character and skills.
