This research employs a qualitative approach with a case study method. Data collection techniques include observation, interviews, and documentation. The data were analyzed through the processes of reduction, presentation, and conclusion drawing, with data validity ensured through source, time, and technique triangulation. The findings indicate that student management plays a strategic role in the planning, organizing, implementation, and evaluation of Scouting activities. Consistent and well-directed implementation results in activities that are both beneficial and enjoyable, and positively contribute to students’ character development.
