Abstract. This study analyzed the effectiveness and impact of extracurricular programs at SMP Nurul Huda in Bogor Regency, Indonesia, aiming to identify areas for improvement in fostering holistic student development.  The research employed a qualitative approach, gathering data through interviews with eleven students and one teacher, supplemented by direct observation of extracurricular activities and document review.  Findings revealed that the effectiveness of the four extracurricular programs (scouting, pencak silat, flag raising team, and archery) was moderate, indicating significant room for improvement.  Interviews with students and teachers highlighted the need for enhanced performance in competitions, more structured evaluation methods, and increased oversight from school administration.  To optimize the programs' impact, the study recommends improvements in student performance, more robust evaluation systems, stronger administrative oversight, enhanced resources, and professional development for instructors.  These changes would better support the holistic development of students and contribute to a more effective extracurricular program.   Keywords: effectiveness , extracurricular activities, students   Abstrak.

Community service activities through Scouting training for the Pandega Scouts of Poltekkes Kemenkes Surabaya and Racana Universitas Brawijaya aim to equip the younger generation with leadership skills, character development, and social-ecological awareness. This program involved two main activities, namely the Basic Scout Leader Course (KMD) organized by Universitas Brawijaya at Pusdiklatcab Kota Malang and a canoeing training held in Jung Kwatu, Mojokerto. The methods employed combined theory and practice, using an interactive, participatory, and experiential approach. The evaluation of the training results showed a significant improvement in participants' understanding of scouting concepts, leadership skills, and environmental conservation awareness. Furthermore, the program successfully strengthened inter-institutional collaboration and empowered the local community through ecotourism potential. This program is expected to contribute to the development of a generation that is more socially and environmentally conscious and to strengthen the position of Scouting as a key institution in character-building for the nation.

School administration is a fundamental component in ensuring effective and high-quality education in elementary schools. This study aims to describe the concept of effective school administration, the essential administrative components that must be designed and managed, and the factors influencing its success in supporting educational quality improvement. A qualitative approach was employed, focusing on naturally occurring administrative processes within elementary educational institutions. Data were obtained through literature review on the management of curriculum, students, educational staff, finance, facilities, and school–community relations. The findings indicate that effective school administration must be carried out systematically through core management functions, including planning, organizing, implementing, and monitoring. The success of school administration is strongly influenced by the leadership of the principal, the competence of teachers and staff, the utilization of information technology, accountable financial management, adequate facilities, and community participation. Therefore, strengthening school administration becomes a key strategy in creating an orderly, efficient, and student-oriented educational process to improve learning quality in elementary schools.

This community service activity aims to strengthen the understanding and practice of Pancasila values as the state ideology for scout group members in the university environment. This is motivated by the phenomenon of low ideological awareness among young people, especially students, which can become a serious challenge in maintaining the unity and identity of the nation. The activity is carried out as a means to strengthen student character so that they have great potential to instill national values. The activity is implemented through a participatory approach, including lectures and interactive discussions. The results of the activity show an increase in students' knowledge and awareness of Pancasila values, reflected in their commitment to continue internalizing Pancasila values both within and outside the campus environment. This activity is expected to serve as an initial step in shaping a young generation with Pancasila character, integrity, and a strong sense of nationalism.

Scouting extracurricular activities play a strategic role in shaping the character of elementary school students, particularly in instilling the values of discipline, solidarity, and cooperation, which are essential for children's personal and social development. This community service project aims to describe the process of mentoring the Marching Regulations (PBB) at SDIT Al-Qonita while identifying the impacts it has on strengthening students' character. The methods used in mentoring include lectures to convey basic concepts, demonstrations as examples of correct movements, repeated practice to train technical skills, joint reflection to evaluate experiences, and a comprehensive evaluation of the results of the activities. The mentoring process was carried out in three meetings over three weeks, with stages starting from an introduction to basic marching material, intensive group practice, and implementation of evaluations that emphasize technical and non-technical aspects. The results of the activity showed that students experienced an increase in technical skills in marching, such as movement accuracy and neatness of formation. Furthermore, this activity was proven to be able to strengthen discipline, solidarity, a sense of responsibility, and the ability to work together among students. Furthermore, the inclusion of educational games and icebreakers during training sessions has proven effective in maintaining motivation, reducing boredom, and creating a pleasant learning environment. Thus, the extracurricular Scouting activities, supported by the National Scout Movement (PBB), serve not only as a means of training marching skills but also as a means of ongoing character development. The results of this community service demonstrate that the PBB can be used as a relevant educational instrument to strengthen the character of elementary school students while simultaneously supporting the achievement of national education goals.

The Bogor City Scout Movement Branch Office is still experiencing problems in administrative management, including cumbersome manual filing processes, unresponsive disposition of incoming letters, excessive paper consumption, and vulnerable financial document security systems. This research aims to propose the implementation of the E-Office system as an innovative solution for administrative transformation towards a more efficient and digitally integrated system. The research method used is a descriptive qualitative approach by collecting data from interviews with three key informants who have an active role in operations and administration at the Bogor City Scout Movement Branch. The results show that the use of E-Office has excellent potential to improve operational efficiency, increase document security, and speed up administrative processes. However, the implementation of E-Office requires special training and changes for employees who still use the manual system.
