National Civil Defence Cadet Corps (NCDCC) is a National Uniformed Group under the purview of the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Home Affairs, Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF).

NCDCC believes in developing and empowering youths to be active and concerned citizens with life-saving and emergency-preparedness skills such as first aid, rescue and fire safety.

As young Civil Defence ambassadors, the cadets have opportunities to advocate for and share emergency preparedness knowledge and skills with the community through outreach programmes.

NCDCC’s motto of 'We Learn, We Lead, We Serve' encapsulates the fulfilling journey of the NCDCC cadets.
