[citation needed] Tzofim is famously known as the first egalitarian scouting movement in the world, where boys and girls participate together on an equal basis.

It was initiated by a teacher – Aryeh Croch (who later stood for many years at the head of the Hebrew Scouts Movement).

During that time the center of the movement was in the north of the country and the Palmach recruits were trained on the "Reali" school ground before joining to the organization.

Established by the Shaliach of the Jewish Agency, it jumpstarted a movement of the Tzofim all over the United States, Canada, Europe, and more.

In 2009, Tzabar tribes were established also in Ukraine, Moldova and the United Kingdom, and "Tzofim Tzabar Olami" organization came to reality, as part of the Hebrew Scouts Movement in Israel, managing Israeli Scouts overseas worldwide.

The "Tzabar" Scouts for Israeli children living abroad, which operates in the United States, Canada, Australia, Hong Kong, Netherlands, United Kingdom, Portugal, Spain, Switzerland, Germany, Cyprus, Greece and the former Soviet Union, have separate managements and activities, but the same values and principles.

Every region has both professionals and volunteers working for it, and has offices, vehicles, equipment, financial plan, events, camps, trips and more.

Activities are held in Hebrew, and the members work in similar settings to the Scouts in Israel, and pass the rest of courses and seminars on topics such as identity and culture.

"Adat HaTzofim" educates and works with the same values of the Scouts movement, but also uses the teachings of the bible of Israel and the Jewish religion.

The Israeli Scouts Ranch is a camping and outdoor education facility located in the Galilee region of Israel.
