Dear Unit Leaders,
RE: Health Trooper Badge Programme 2010
The Singapore Scout Association is in collaboration with HealthZone of the Health Promotion Board for the new Health Trooper Badge Programme to replace the old Healthy Lifestyle Proficiency Badge Course.
It is designed to include more levels of challenge for Cub Scouts, Scouts and Venture Scouts as well as more interactive activities to interest our youth members in health issued. It aims to promote greater awareness on the importance of having a healthy lifestyle amongst them. Through workshops, games, tests and hands-on health assignments, all youth members can pick up health tips and essential skills to better manage their health.

A Unit Leader's Briefing has been scheduled to enable you to further understand the course. Each Unit is required to send a Unit Leader to attend the Unit Leader’s Briefing.

The details are as follow:-
Date : (Sat) 6 February 2010
Time : 10.00 am – 11.00 am
