| Ahmad Ibrahim Scouts Troop was set up in 1967 under the sponsorship of the Ministry of Education as part of the Extra Curricular Activities (ECA) program. The troop is based at Ahmad Ibrahim Secondary School and obtains its members from the student population of the school. | |

The troop gets its name from the old district name of Bukit Panjang. In it's heyday in the late 70s till the mid 80s, its members number in excess of 100, making it the largest student organisation in the school, and no doubt the most popular. It is now under the wings of Yishun District. Over the years, members of the troop has excelled within the district, nationally, regionally, and internationally. The troop has consistently sent representatives to various jamborees, national activities, and had been on the forefront of district activities. |
| Recently, as other organisations and student groups gain recognition, membership numbers fell drastically. With the emphasis now more on studies, we find ourselves with even fewer members every year. But major changes have been made to the troop so as to keep up with times and also to further upgrade the skills of our boys. One major changes we have made is the combination of the the Warriors' leaders council and the AI Guides' CLTs. Together, we will work hand in hand to plan what's best for our Scouts and Guides. We are proud to say that the troop will still be around for a long time to come. The new AI Scouts crest was designed by our SPL, an was officially launched on 12th August 2000, during our campfire Odyssey. A new troop name was also adopted to let our boys have a stronger sense of belonging. AI Scouts will now be known as The Warriors. This name was chosen mainly because of the AI Scouts crest was designed in the shape of the shield. This shield shall symbolise the perseverance and the courage of the AI warriors against all difficulties. Life is of no bound, with Ahmad Ibrahim Scouts, the Warriors. Once an AI Scout, Always an AI Scout | |
