Celebrating the achievements of our NSmen volunteers who have demonstrated high standards of service excellence and gone the extra mile to serve the community.
OUR STORY
The HomeTeamNS Guardians Symbol recognises and honours past and present HomeTeamNS volunteers who have served or are serving in various HomeTeamNS committees. Made up of two parts coming together to form a “T” in the shape of an upward facing arrow, the symbol represents SPF and SCDF NSmen coming together to uplift HomeTeamNS towards greater success. The symbol, which also denotes unity of purpose, is a source of pride and recognition for HomeTeamNS volunteers. With the mission to ‘Creating A Future Together’, the tagline ‘WeCrAFT’ aims to unite the passion of HomeTeamNS volunteers in creating a bonded future – for all NSmen, by NSmen with HomeTeamNS.
