SLOVAKIAN SCOUTING ORGANIZATION
Scouting in Slovakia goes back to 1912, when it was a part of Czechoslovakia. Scouting ceased to exist as a result of German Nazi occupation in 1940.
In Nov. 1989, Scouting again was re-established and in 1990, was recognized by WOSM.
In 1993, the country of Czechoslovakia ceased to exist by mutual agreement. The country was split into two parts: The Czech Republic and The Republic of Slovakia.
A new Scouting Association was formed and is active today. There are over 4,510 registered members as of January 1, 1998. Slovakia was recognized by the World Bureau in 1997.
