Scouting in Bosnia and Herzegovina was established in [[1915]] under the [[Austro-Hungarian Empire]]. In his book, ''What Scouts Can Do: More Yarns'', [[Robert Baden-Powell, 1st Baron Baden-Powell|Baden-Powell]] wrote about [[Bosnia and Herzegovina|Bosnia]] before the First World War; in a section "Biking in Bosnia" he provides a fascinating picture of this war-torn land. As part of Yugoslavia, Bosnia-Herzegovina was a founding member of the [[World Organization of the Scout Movement]] from [[1922]] to [[1948]].

The purpose of The Council of Scout Associations in Bosnia and Herzegovina is to represent both Associations in WOSM. They will both be able to participate in world events such as [[World Jamboree]]s, World Conferences and a variety of other activities.

Earlier in the decade, renewed fighting in Bosnia and Herzegovina led to the decision that it was too dangerous for a contingent from Bosnia and Herzegovina to travel to the [[World Jamboree]], held in the Netherlands, 2-12 August 1995. The Scouts of Bosnia sent the following message to the 25,000 participants of the 1995 World Jamboree:

Scouting under the Austro-Hungarian Empire in Bosnia and Herzegovina was established in 1915. In his book, What Scouts Can Do: More Yarns, Baden-Powell wrote about Bosnia before the First World War; in a section "Biking in Bosnia" he provides a fascinating picture of this war-torn land. Bosnia-Herzegovina, as part of Yugoslavia, helped found the World Organization of the Scout Movement in 1922 and remained a member until Scouting in Yugoslavia was coopted by the Josip Broz Tito government in 1950 into Savez Izviđača Jugoslavije, at which time WOSM membership was forfeited.

The Council of Scout Associations in Bosnia and Herzegovina comprised the Savez Izviđača Federacije Bosne i Hercegovine (Scout Association of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina) and the Savez Izviđača Republike Srpske (Scout Association of the Republic of Srpska). Both Scout Associations agreed to work together to form a federation and join WOSM together, and met to finalize matters presented to WOSM for consideration of membership. WOSM granted full membership to Bosnia and Herzegovina in July 1999. In 2000, after the establishment of the Brčko District, a third association, the Savez izviđača Distrikta Brčko (Scout Association of the Brčko District) joined the council.

In 2011, the three member organizations of the council agreed to form a unified association, the Savez izviđača Bosne i Hercegovine (Scout Association of Bosnia and Herzegovina).[2]

The Scout Motto is Буди Спреман (Budi Spreman), translating as "Be Prepared" in the dialect of each ethnic group. The noun for a single Scout is interchangeably Skaut and Izviđač.
