Romania was a founding member of the WOSM, having formally had Scouts between [[1914]] and [[1937]]. The first patrol of Boy Scouts was established in Romania in [[1912]], thanks to a group of [[professor]]s, physicians, [[Romanian Army|soldiers]], etc. ([[Gheorghe Munteanu-Murgoci]], [[Alexandru Borza]], [[Vladimir Ghidionescu]], [[Constantin Costa-Foru]], [[Nicolae Iorga]], [[Ion G. Duca]] and Colonel G. Berindei) who were familiar with the Scout movements in the United Kingdom, France, Belgium, and Germany.

The translation of [[Baden-Powell]]'s book ''[[Scouting for Boys]]'' into Romanian was published in 1915. That same year saw the official founding of the ''Cercetaşii României''; on the occasion, Lord Baden-Powell sent a message of congratulations, with the admonition that Scouting should be adapted to the local situation.

In [[1930]], the first Romanian Scout [[Jamboree]] took place, in the presence of [[Hubert Martin]] and many delegations of Scouts and Guides from other countries. ''Cercetaşii României'' had 45,000 members at that point, and the Guides Movement had 14,000. The organizer and Chief of the Guides Movement was Princess Ileana, the daughter of Queen Marie.

Later, when the extremist movements ([[fascism]] and communism) divided the young generation, the Scout Movement remained an oasis of democracy, tolerance, peace and fraternity. Romanian Scouting preserved its apolitical character, but in [[1937]], it was replaced by a [[Totalitarianism|totalitarian]] organization, ''Străjeria'', as part of the dictatorial measures initiated by [[King of Romania|King]] [[Carol II of Romania|Carol II]] (alongside the creation of the [[National Renaissance Front]]). After the World War, there were attempts to restore the Scout Movement in Romania, but the emergence of the [[Communist Romania|communist regime]] brought a ban on all alternative [[youth movement]]s (''see [[Pioneer movement in Romania]] and [[Union of Communist Youth#Pioneers]]'').

After the [[Romanian Revolution of 1989|Revolution of 1989]], former Scouts and others, despite the difficult conditions, acted for the revival of Scouting in Romania. ''Cercetaşii României'' was again established in [[1991]], and in [[1993]] gained recognition by the World Bureau of the WOSM. In 2006, there are more than 2,000 registered Scouts.
