TheOrganizația Națională a Scouților din Moldova (National Organization of the Scouts of Moldova, ONSM), the nationalScouting organization ofMoldova, became a member of theWorld 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 ofRomania in 1922, until Scouting was banned by the government ofCarol II in 1937.
After the fall ofcommunism, Scouting restarted in Moldova in 1991, but theWar of Transnistria of 1992-1993 greatly slowed its development. In 1994, a national Scout organization was formed, and officially registered under the nameOrganizaţia 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 theWorld 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 theEuropean Scout Region, as the Eurasian region was dissolved.[2][3]
