Lietuvos Skautija

In the years after World War II, a displaced Scouting movement started in the camps for displaced persons, and provided a makeshift but quite effective camp postal system, using Scout postage stamps like the one illustrated.

In November, 1989, after the fall of communism, Scouting formally reemerged in the newly democratic Lithuania.

A new association, formed by the majority of youth leaders in all regions of Lithuania as well as by key members of the former National Council, was created in the spring of 1995 under the name Lietuvos skautija.

A meeting of the general assembly was called in November, 1996, which was open to all active leaders registered in any of the several Scout Associations existing in Lithuania.

The Lietuvos Lenkų Skautų Sajunga (the Polish Scout Association in Lithuania) attended as observers.

It was confirmed by the General Assembly that the name of the organization would henceforth be Lietuvos skautija, Lithuanian Scouting.

Lietuvos skautija was represented at the 1995, 1998, 2007, 2011 World Jamborees, and held a national camp in 1998 in Nemunaitis near Alytus to celebrate the 80th anniversary of the founding of Scouting in Lithuania.

National jamborees are held every 5 years and were also organized in 2003 (in Plateliai), 2008 (in Zarasai district), in 2013 (in Telšiai) and in 2018 (in Rumšiškės, for the centenary).

The rover/ranger section follows the tradition of accepting new members into crews for a candidacy period before proper investment.

Follow Saint George, the patron of Scouts: exterminate the evil in the world, but first of all in yourself.
