This study explores the impact of prosocial activities on fostering caring behaviors among scouts. By empowering scouts through engagement in activities that promote empathy, cooperation, and altruism, this research aims to investigate the effectiveness of such interventions in cultivating prosocial attitudes and behaviors. Drawing on a combination of qualitative and quantitative methods, including participant observation, surveys, and interviews, the study examines the experiences and perceptions of scouts involved in prosocial activities. The findings shed light on the potential of scout empowerment initiatives to nurture a culture of compassion and community service, contributing to the broader discourse on youth development and social responsibility.
