Abstract

Population explosion has always been a worrying problem for developing countries, therefore the Family Planning (KB) is promoted. Soeharto as the leader of New Order tried to work together with scout. In order to involve the scout, he formed a scout unit called Satuan Karya Kencana (SAKA Kencana). In this study, researchers used historical methods with heuristic steps, source criticism, interpretation, and historiography to answer the problem formulas: 1) How was the condition of Surabaya's population in 1985? 2) How was the implementation of family planning program in Surabaya in 1985-1990? 3) What is the role of the scout movement in the implementation of the KB program in Surabaya in 1985-1990? The results obtained after conducting research are that the scouting movement has succeeded the family planning program in Surabaya and moving the community, especially young men and women to plan their families' future. This can be seen from the number of circulation / sales of the family planning acceptors (KB) as well as the number of baby births at that time. In detail, these are the scouts' achievements in promoting family planning programs: increasing contraceptive users; decreased birthrate; reduction in infant mortality rates; and the enthusiasm of the people of Surabaya to become scout members. Thus, it will be seen indirectly how scouts take role in success of the family planning program in Surabaya.
