The role of the scouting movement to enhancing the leadership skills of physical education and sports science students

Abstract

This study aims to explore the impact of scouting activities as part of the academic program in enhancing leadership skills among physical education and sports science students. The study relied on the descriptive analytical approach. A sample of students participating and not participating in scouting activities was included to assess differences in leadership skills such as decision-making, teamwork, and taking responsibility. The results showed that participation in scouting activities positively affects the development of leadership skills among students. This enhances their readiness to face academic and professional challenges. The study recommended integrating scouting activities into the curriculum and providing sustainable institutional support to ensure a positive impact on the development of leadership skills.
