<![CDATA[Scouting is an educational activity in schools that can serve as a means of developing students’ character through direct experience and habituation. Scouting activities are not limited to developing scouting skills but also provide opportunities for students to develop discipline, responsibility, independence, teamwork, leadership, and concern for others and the environment. This mentoring activity aimed to describe the role of scouting activities in supporting students’ character development through direct involvement in the school environment. The approach used was Asset-Based Community Development (ABCD), which considers the potential of the school, scouting leaders, teachers, and students as important assets in the mentoring process. The activities were conducted through observation, direct interaction, mentoring, and participation in various scouting activities. The results of the mentoring process indicate that scouting activities provide students with real experiences in following rules, completing responsibilities, working collaboratively, participating in group activities, and engaging in outdoor and social activities. These experiences demonstrate that scouting can contribute to students’ character development through continuous practice and habituation. The involvement of scouting leaders, school support, and active student participation are important factors in supporting the implementation of the activities. Therefore, scouting activities can be developed as a meaningful part of character education when implemented regularly, interactively, and according to students’ needs.]]>
