Leadership skills are essential for success in various aspects of life, including education, career, and personal relationships. Boy Scouts of the Philippines (BSP) is a popular youth program that aims to develop leadership skills and other life skills among adolescents. However, the extent to which Boy Scouting contributes to the development of leadership skills among adolescents has not been extensively investigated. Therefore, this empirical study aims to explore the role of Boy Scouting in developing leadership skills among adolescents. This study employed a pre-test/post-test quantitative research design to evaluate the effectiveness of the BSP's leadership training program in developing leadership skills among adolescents. A non-probability convenience sampling technique was used to select participants from different BSP councils across the Philippines. The study used a validated questionnaire as the primary data gathering tool, and data analysis involved descriptive and inferential statistical analysis using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) software. The results of the study indicate that Boy Scouting plays a significant role in developing leadership skills among adolescents. Boy Scouts were found to have higher levels of leadership skills compared to non-Boy Scouts. Additionally, Boy Scouts reported greater confidence in their leadership abilities, better communication skills, and improved teamwork skills. The semi-structured interviews revealed that Boy Scouts developed leadership skills through various activities, including camping, community service, and mentoring younger Scouts. This study provides evidence that Boy Scouting is an effective program for developing leadership skills among adolescents. The findings support the continued investment in Boy Scouting programs to enhance the leadership skills of young people.
