One unit of Singapore Scouts Association (SSA) - The Rovers, which comprises of youths aged 17 to 26, – was impacted by the learning of strengths they can harness through the revealing of their thinking and behavioural preferences. The workshop was conducted during their Rovers’ Conference and had allowed the group to gain a deeper appreciation of themselves and the people they interact with. The participants were keen to translate their learning to the work that they do with youths as well as other teams that they interact with, in school and/or at work.

“I feel reassured with the knowledge of my preferences…”

Michelle has been working in the youth training and development industry for the past 16 years, and is passionate in nurturing and developing youths in their growth as individuals and leaders.

She firmly believes that youths need affirmation of their competencies and capabilities beyond their academic performance, in order to be empowered to be confident in leading us into our future.

She seeks joy in the work she does, not only when youths achieve that “Aha!” moment, and when they realise their capabilities, but also when she helps others see that these youths need affirmation and guidance to gain confidence.

The Singapore Scout Association (SSA), formerly known as the Boy Scouts Association, was constituted under the powers granted by the Royal Charter issued under the hand of King George V dated 4th January 1912, and the Boy Scouts Association Act (Cap 26, Singapore Statutes, 1985 Revised Edition) having the force of law in Singapore.

As a movement, they inculcate discipline, leadership qualities and teamwork attributes through informal education processes at various formative stages of our young members.

Committed to the development and education of young people, the SSA is one of the oldest youth movements in Singapore – celebrating its 100th Anniversary in the year 2010. Scouting encourages the holistic physical, mental, spiritual and social development of youth with a strong emphasis on duty to God, duty to country, and helping other people.
