Companies prefer to register and liaise directly with NYAAC. The mode of operation is
situational.
3. If you are registering for your Boys, you will need to fill up the NYAA Enrolment form for every
Boy, available at the website: www.nyaa.org. Completion of the forms, with parental consent, can
then be faxed to NYAAC. This is to allow them to update administration records and prepare the
Record Books (Bronze or Silver or Gold) and Award Diaries for you in advance.
4. Thereafter, you may proceed to the NYAAC office for payment and collection of the Record Books
and Award Diaries. Registration fee is $7 for Bronze per Boy, $12 for Silver and $17 for Gold.
5. Under the joint accreditation, the Award Diary is optional and you may decide whether to fill it up
and submit to NYAAC.
6. For the Record books, it can be used as a guide to fill up the various categories of Service, Skills,
Adventurous Journey and Physical Recreation, as required by the NYAAC.

2. Key Company Events
Besides the usual parades, Officers should consciously make an effort to ensure that the other
events are organized:

Recruitment and Orientation
This is an explosive way to start the year! Recruitment is where the Company displays its best
it can offer to new members. It is also a great opportunity to garner the talents and energies of
your Boys. Officers should work closely with their NCOs and Primers for the recruitment.
During Orientation, Companies usually comes together for some time of fun and games.
These activities, coming after the holidays, allow Officers to renew relationships with their
Boys.

Enrolment Service
One of the important events of a company is the Enrolment Service. It is an annual ceremony
held early each year to officially enrol a company’s officers and Boys. This service is typically
held in late March and in church during Sunday service with the presence of the sponsoring
church’s congregation, and its officiated by the Company Chaplain. For some Companies, they
would also conduct their promotion ceremony in conjunction with it.
OCO 01/11 – Handout
Page 9 of 21
Our Programme at a Glance – The Seniors Programme

BB Day
It is observed on the 12 January to commemorate the birth of The BB in Singapore. On this day,
Boys usually put on their uniforms in school and the BB Day Message is read. Make
arrangements with your sponsoring school for the observance of this event and with the Brigade
Office to obtain the BB Day Message.

BB Week
This is the annual fund-raising effort. It is an opportunity for members and friends to contribute
financially to the on-going work of the BB. For some Companies, they would usually have
their Enrolment Service during this period so that they can ask the sponsoring members for
their contributions to the BB.

Chaplain’s Parade
This is a time when you meet your Chaplain or his representative from the church. The parade
may involve the Chaplain in teaching a class or conducting devotion. There may even be
friendly games between the Company and the church youth fellowship.

Promotion and Awards Ceremony
Companies usually designate times in the year to announce and present promotions and
awards to the deserving Boys. These are occasions that Boys would look forward to.
Sometimes, other awards involving inter-squad competitions would also be presented.

Community Service Events
These events provide an avenue for you to care and share your time and energy for the less
fortunate. Boys may find that it tough due to the hard work, and that is where Officers inculcate
in them the value of blessing someone who is less fortunate than them.
In the BB, 2 major community service events are held yearly: BB CARES and SGB.
Companies should inquire with the Brigade Office with regard to the participation in it.

Camps, Adventure & Outings
Camps, adventure programmes and outings are great opportunities for you to know your
Boys better. Some recommended activities are:
• Overseas trips – waterfalls, climbs, kelongs
• Campfires, BBQ, Squad outings
• Adventure activities
 Ropes Course
 Rappelling
 Kayaking
 Archery
 Rock wall,
 Omega Descent
 Air Rifle
• Educational tours – variety shows, visits to foreign warships here, etc
• Combined programmes – with Church, other Uniformed Groups in school.

Our Programme at a Glance – The Seniors Programme

Graduation Parade
A most poignant event, as this is the time to leave the Seniors Programme. These Boys
would then usually prepare for their exams, but officers should maintain regular contact with
these Boys. These Boys should then be transferred to the Primers programme.
3. Company Annual Programme

The Annual Programme
 Usually have an average of about 30 parades in a calendar year
 Stakeholders, especially School, must be updated with it before the start of the new year
 Vision and goals for the Company should first be established

The Planning process
 Usually done in last quarter of the year, when school, church, and Brigade Calendar of
events are confirmed

Key priorities for the Company’s calendar
 School’s events (Speech Day, Recruitment Day, etc)
 School holidays and exams
 Church events (anniversary, camps, etc)
 Brigade events (competitions , courses, deadlines for submissions)
These events must first be included in the yearly calendar before inserting the
Company’s events.

Company’s events
 Weekly parades
 Camps
 Close sessions
 Special programmes (e.g Parents day, outings)
 Enrolment Service
 Officers meetings / NCO Council meetings
The awards calendar can be established after the annual programme is confirmed.

Meeting for annual programme
 The School, Church, and Brigade key events should be inserted in the calendar and
circulated to the Officers way in advance
 Officers in charge of various portfolios should come prepared with their schedules for
the year
 Captain should facilitate the meeting, especially in deciding over events that collided
with each other
 Captain will submit final programme to school and chaplain for approval

Key Considerations

Vision and goals of the Company

Manpower availability in Officers, Primers, helpers, teachers

Budget required to run the programmes
A sample of an annual programme can be found in Annex C

Proficiency Star and Founders Badge.
Priority for calendar should be ensuring that core awards are conducted regularly
Electives can be conducted when manpower and resources are available. For those
conducted at Brigade level, do look out for its application through HQ Circulars, Mass emails,
etc.
Company camps are great opportunities to conduct certain awards, e.g Life Skills, Leadership
Development Stage 1
A sample of an awards calendar can be found in Annex D
RUNNING EFFECTIVE PROGRAMMES
Website
The BB website www.bb.org.sg is constantly updated with new information on various new
programmes and service providers. Officers should constantly visit the resource page to look out for
interesting activities that could be relevant for their Boys.
Joint Activities with other Groups
Officers should look beyond their Companies when organizing activities. Make every attempt to
combine activities with other Uniformed Groups in your school or with the youth ministry of the
sponsoring church. Alternatively, they can also combine activities with other BB Companies. This
would help your Boys widen their friendship. At the Brigade level, Companies can participate in the
Camp Temasek, a mega camp organized once every 5 years in celebration of the BB Jubilee.
Acquiring best practices
With more than 60 Senior Programme BB Companies, Officers have much to learn from the vast
experiences of Officers from other Companies. Events specially organized for Officers like Annual
Officers Retreat are great opportunities for SP Officers to meet and learn best practices. It is also a
good time to keep abreast of the latest developments in the Brigade. Do keep a close lookout for
these events, and sign up for it!
NON COMMISSIONED OFFICERS (NCOs)
The NCO corps is made up of Boys holding the ranks from Lance-Corporal to Warrant Officer. Their
duties may vary from Company to Company. NCOs are our co-workers. Teach them and get them
involved in running the Company. Officers should not be running BB programmes.
Role of NCOs in the Company
1. Assist officers in running company activities and awards classes
Running a BB company is a heavy responsibility and officers usually engage the help of NCOs.
For instance, a company camp requires much logistical planning and NCOs can take various
responsibilities or appointments (e.g. CSM, logistics officer, messing officer, games leader) to
ensure the camp is run properly.
And depending on ability and proficiency, NCOs may also assist officers in conducting simple
Awards classes. Tests, however, will still be carried out by the officers.
OCO 01/11 – Handout
Page 12 of 21
Our Programme at a Glance – The Seniors Programme
2. Manage a squad of Boys
The strength of BB companies can range from a small group of 30 to a large group of 200 Boys.
To better manage the company, members are usually assigned to squads and/or platoons. In a
squad, the squad leader is in charge and he is responsible for the well-being of all his Boys, be it
at a company parade or at camp or at a school activity. Squad leaders are expected to keep his
Boys informed of all company programmes and encourage him to be regular at all company
parades.
Role of NCOs in the Squad
1. Teach & Lead younger Boys in the squad
While the BB officers will conduct Target Classes for new Boys, such classes may not fully equip
members with all the necessary skills and knowledge to fit into the company. Thus, NCOs play a
role in helping younger ones, especially the recruits to assimilate into the Company. .
2. Good role model for younger Boys to follow
Besides passing on skills, the more important function of NCOs is to be good role models for
younger Boys to follow. Younger Boys tend to mimic or imitate their older peers. If NCOs in the
company practise good habits of Obedience, Reverence, Discipline, Self-respect and Christian
manliness, the younger Boys will surely be influenced by them.
Sadly, the reverse is also true i.e. if NCOs pick up bad habits, Boys will also follow. Therefore, the
responsibility of NCOs in the company is indeed very heavy and should not be taken lightly.
3. Help improve communication between officers and Boys
NCOs, though a little older, are from the same age group as Boys in the company which makes
communication much easier because young people understand the same lingo and share similar
priorities. This makes NCOs most useful in bridging the communication gap between adult
officers and younger Boys.
4. Look into the welfare of the squad Boys
Young people, especially in their teens, find it easier to confide in their friends than with parents or
adults. As such, NCOs again become the eyes and ears of the BB officers, offering a listening ear
to BB Boys. Boys with problems can be referred to the officers for assistance.
The NCO Council
Officers should facilitate the organization of the NCO Council. This Council should oversee the
operations of the Company, under the supervision of the Officers. . Please refer to Annex B on more
information on it.
