Before the KMD activity begins, all participants must take a written pre-test as an initial step to measure their abilities and course orientation as well as elect a leader per team so that the activity runs smoothly., collect assignments and prepare course participants.
The course orientation in KMD has the aim of conditioning course participants to be ready to take part in the learning in the course, by providing information that is very necessary for a Scoutmaster in carrying out his duties in scouting. and to make it easier for students to understand various basic training skills and scouting education techniques for Group S, G, T, D so that you can understand the administration of squads and units.
In one leadership hour material, students are given an in-depth understanding of scouting. It is said, if Gudep was not forced by kwarcab, because they are carrying out the orders of the Minister of Education Decree which states that scouting is a mandatory extracurricular in schools.
So if Tarbiyah students have been involved in teaching at school but do not carry out scouting at their respective schools, They are not against scouting but they are against the Minister of Education Decree.
That's why we train Tarbiyah students so that they don't fail to understand about scouting, because the goal is so that they understand what scouting is and reactivate it themselves in postgraduate school later, each in the front cluster, also produces professional and independent coaches,” he said.
In the study contract, the participant's rights as a KMB participant are temporarily revoked for five days following the activity, to be alert, raisers and Enforcers who are ready to follow all course material.

In the world alert material session, raiser, enforcer , The speaker explained that Alert Scouts is the term for scout members aged between 7 until 10 year. The honor code itself is a series of basic provisions that must be implemented by every Scout member in their daily behavior. The honor code for alert scouts consists of Dwisatya and Dwidarma.
Enforcing Scouts is a group and a term for members of the Scout Movement who are aged between 16 up to you 20 year. The level of the enforcer scout group is a classification of scouts based on the age of the students after the scouts are on standby (age 7 – 10 year) and scout raisers (age 11 -15 years).
Like other groups of members of the Scout Movement, Scout enforcers have a code of honor consisting of Scout Satya and Scout Darma. Satya Pramuka (promise) The enforcer is called 'Trisatya' which consists of three promises. Meanwhile, Scout Darma (moral provisions) enforcers are referred to as 'Dasadarma' which consists of ten points of attitude and norms of action that must be practiced in everyday life both in the scouting environment and outside it..
Raiser is a level in the scout after standby. Usually scout level members are aged from 11-15 year. The Raising Level also has General Skill Requirements (SKU) and Special Skills Requirements (SKK) which must be fulfilled to get a level increase or General Proficiency Mark (TKU) and earn Special Marks of Ability (TKK).
It is known that the Scout Leader's Posture is the figure or reflection displayed by a person who is guiding scout activities.
The scoutmaster's posture does not mean the physical form of the scoutmaster himself, but rather a reflection of appearance, attitude, Good ethics must be shown to students (Standby, Raiser, and Enforcer). Characteristics of alert scouts include being very happy to play, happy to imitate, enjoy singing, likes to be praised, still spoiled, enjoy telling stories, and report what they know and experience. Characteristics of scout raisers include a love of movement, happy to travel, nosy, agile, happy to try, love the heroic nature, starting to like the opposite sex, changes/development of the male raiser's physical/voice, starting to get hoarse, and some of the alert nature is still carried over. One of the characteristics of enforcement scouts is that they have started looking for identity, identity, socialize, easily influenced,provoked,emotional stability is not yet stable, fond of reality, strong will is difficult to prevent if it does not pass through rational awareness, I hope the problem is resolved quickly, sometimes through physical force.
According to the Basic Student Scouting instructor, he explained the basic principles of Scouting. IAI Khozinatul Ulum students must have characteristics including: 1) Iman, and fear God Almighty. 2) Caring about the nation, and homeland, fellow living, and nature beyond. 3) Caring about himself personally. 4) Obey the Scout Code of Honor.
In building methods material , IAI Khozinatul Ulum students were taught the steps to foster scouting activities, including starting by saying hello, pray, protest (ask answer) , provide motivation to students (ice breaking) , Convey the desired goals. And ended with another protest to review the material presented.
The third day, KMD participants receive material regarding studying outside , This time the students were invited by Sis Bandi as the supervisor to walk from campus to Blora Square, Their enthusiasm looked happy even though they were a little tired. After arriving at the KMD IAI Khozinatul Ulum Blora participant square , there they got material about ropes – rigging and how to measure poles Using a stick or shadow. The Scoutmaster explained that Rigging is an art of connecting ropes using knots to form a tool or other useful object.. for example a stretcher, flagpole, and much more. Some ropes, then tied using an anchor knot and a base knot. We know that scout members' activities cannot be separated from camping. In this activity you will be faced with the skills of putting up signs. In setting up your own tent, It requires ability and knowledge of rigging techniques or also known as knots, to tie one pole to another. Regarding rigging techniques or also called knots, to tie one pole to another. To tie a rope to a rope, or a rope with something that is not originally tied. Of course there are steps to produce a shape from existing ropes.
In estimating the size of a flagpole, the Scoutmaster explains that there are various ways and methods, such as the method of estimating height using the help of shadows, right triangle method (45 degrees), and so on. On this occasion we will learn to estimate height using the triangle comparison method. This method utilizes triangle congruence theory. By using this estimating method, The results obtained will be more accurate and make it easier to re-verify or check again (including assessment) because it uses a systematic formula.
However, estimating height using the triangular comparison method can only be done if the ground around the object being estimated is flat.. If the land contour is sloping you have to use another method because the results will certainly not be accurate.
Forth day, All participants receive the task of becoming a Scoutmaster. In this material, the KMD Trustees explain that Scoutmasters are adult members who have a high commitment to the principles of Scouting Education., voluntarily work with students, as a partner who cares about the needs of students, patiently motivate, guide, assist and facilitate student development activities. The Scoutmaster's job is to provide guidance so that students become: human personality, character, and have noble character, citizens of the Republic of Indonesia who have the spirit of Pancasila, be loyal and obedient to the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia and be a good and useful member of society. In carrying out his duties, the Scoutmaster is responsible for the implementation of regular and directed scouting education in accordance with the vision and mission of the Scout Movement., Maintaining the implementation of the Basic Principles of Scout Education and Scout Education Methods in all scout activities.

Meaning of campfire according to , one of the supervisors of this activity, “A bonfire is a light, so that participants know the meaning of scouts needing dedication and also as a medium to show creativity,he said.
The lighting procession begins with a procession of ten torchbearers surrounding the bonfire. One of the torch bearers receives the fire from the master of ceremonies. Then, each torch is lit by relay, from the first torchbearer to the tenth. Each time the torch bearer receives fire from the previous torch bearer, he recited the Dasadarma aloud.
