Abstract
The main purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of the scout movements on the
students discipline in selected schools in Makindye Division, Kampala- Uganda. It was guided
by three specific objectives including; - To determine the extent to which the school environment
is influenced by scouting, to investigate the extent to which classroom attendance is influenced
by scouting as well as to establish a relationship between students’ parenting and scouting.
Qualitative design was classified into two major categories which were experimental and general
survey design which examined the relationship between scouting and students discipline in
selected school in Makindye Division. Independent variables to the study were scouting and
students discipline, the independent variable. From the findings, it was indicated that all the
head teachers were male, a balance comes in on teachers and this was because the policy rules
and regulations enforce this to every scout unit. Most of the students who responded were
female. This implies that more female in Makindye division responded to the questionnaires.
From the results, it is clears that school has more male teachers in responsibility that female, a
scenario that should be checked for equal opportunity. The age factor influences the good
relationship between teachers and students thus creating a suitable discharge of scouting. This
result to the observance of good character development. It is therefore relevant to develop
characters traits in primary schools. The research concluded and recommended that, parents
should check on how and what they take their children through especially at the lower stage of
development which determines their moral reasoning. Students should as well be keen to uplift
the scout movement inform of manifesting what they have attained from it through community
service projects and duty to self.
