Scouting was founded in Moldova in 1913, and a founding member of WOSM as part of Romania in 1922, until Scouting was banned by the government of Carol II in 1937.

After the fall of communism, Scouting restarted in Moldova in 1991, but the 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]
