Pramuka di Tingkat Penggalang

Abstract

This study aims to describe the Scout Penggalang (Scout Troop) program and analyze the character values embedded in its activities. This research employed a literature review method by examining various relevant sources, including books and scholarly journal articles. Data were collected through systematic reading, note-taking, and synthesizing information related to Scouting education. The findings indicate that the Penggalang Scout program consists of three progressive levels: Ramu (Basic), Rakit (Intermediate), and Terap (Advanced). The program encompasses a wide range of activities designed to foster the personal development of adolescents, particularly junior high school students. These educational activities contribute to the holistic development of Scout members by addressing five key dimensions: physical, spiritual, emotional, social, and intellectual development. Furthermore, Scouting activities incorporate essential character values that play a significant role in shaping students' personalities. These values include independence, discipline, patience, empathy, responsibility, cooperation, and other positive moral qualities. Overall, the findings highlight the potential of the Penggalang Scout program as a character education platform that promotes the holistic development of adolescents through experiential learning and value-based activities.
