The Organizația Națională a Scouților din Moldova (National Organization of the Scouts of Moldova, ONSM), the national Scouting organization of Moldova, became a member of the World Organization of the Scout Movement in 1997. The coeducational Organizaţia Naţională a Scouţilor din Moldova has 2,430 members as of 2011.[1]

Scouting was founded in Moldova in 1913, and a founding member of WOSM as part of

Carol II
in 1937.

After the fall of

War of Transnistria
of 1992-1993 greatly slowed its development. In 1994, a national Scout organization was formed, and officially registered under the name Organizaţia Naţională a Scouţilor din Moldova.

By 1997, the Scout organization had developed well enough to gain recognition from the World Bureau. On April 18, 1997 the World Organization of the Scout Movement welcomed Moldova as a member country. As of January 1, 1998, the Organizaţia Naţională a Scouţilor din Moldova included 1,540 registered Scouts, boys and girls, in 39 groups throughout the country.

On October 1 2023, ONSM joined the

European Scout Region, as the Eurasian region was dissolved.[2][3]
