This study aims to analyze the influence of the Scout extracurricular program on the improvement of student discipline in elementary schools. Discipline is a crucial aspect of character development, which can influence both academic achievement and social behavior. The study employs an observational method, with data collected through interviews, questionnaires, and direct observation of students participating in Scout activities. The results indicate a significant improvement in student discipline following participation in the Scout extracurricular program. Data show that 75% of the students demonstrated progress in areas of discipline, such as punctuality, adherence to rules, and responsibility in completing assigned tasks. These findings suggest that Scout activities serve not only as a means for skill development but also contribute to the cultivation of a disciplined character among students. This study recommends that schools place greater emphasis on developing extracurricular activities that foster student discipline and encourage broader student participation in positive, constructive endeavors. It is expected that such efforts will enhance student discipline, ultimately leading to a positive impact on their academic performance.
