[5][14]: 133–134 During World War II, Hungarian Scouts carried out many important roles, acting as messengers and other essential duties.

Pál Teleki was called on once again to lead the nation as Prime Minister and Chief Scout of Hungary.

He was succeeded as Chief Scout by General Kisbarnaki Ferenc Farkas, Commander of Royal Ludvokia Akademia.

[13]: 260  Before the end of World War II, the national Hungarian Scouts were ordered to merge with the extremist right-leaning youth organization Hungarista Örszem, but it was never really executed.

It was soon renamed as the Hungarian Scout Association, and it became active in the displaced persons camps in Germany and Austria.

Zoltai Gogins organized Hungarian Scouting in the Feffernitz displaced persons camps near Graz in the British occupation zone.

In 1948, Scouting was officially abolished in Hungary by the Communist regime,[7][13]: 267–269  but it remained nascent underground in a situation similar to that in neighboring Czechoslovakia.

[13]: 272  After the end of the Hungarian Revolution, Scout groups were founded in refugee camps and Austrian cities.

[13]: 298 That same year the original seal was restored to the Hungarian Scout Association by the Külföldi Magyar Cserkészszövetség.

[13]: 302 [15] In 1990, Hungary[7] and Czechoslovakia were the first of the Eastern European nations to return to membership in the World Organization of Scout Movement.

[13]: 293 [25]: 2 In 1992, Dr. Béla H. Bánáthy, a long-standing member of the Hungarian Scout Association Abroad (Külföldi Magyar Cserkészszövetség), traveled from the Monterey, California in the United States to Hungary following its renewed freedom.

[13]: 300 In 1994, after democracy and Scouting was reestablished in Hungary, the community around Gödöllő moved to locate and re-erect a statue by Lőrinc Siklódi commemorating the 1933 World Jamboree.

In 1943, on the tenth anniversary of the Jamboree, a statue of a Boy Scout was erected across from the Guard Barracks in Royal Forest of Gödöllő, Hungary.

When Communist forces liberated the country from Nazi Germany, the original statue by sculptor Lőrinc Siklódi was removed as the government moved to suppress Scouting.

They decided to enlarge Zsigmond Kisfaludi Strobl's 50 inches (130 cm) statuette entitled The Boy Scout.

The new statue of a Boy Scout standing on the original pedestal is unveiled on April 23, 1994, commemorating yet again the 1933 World Jamboree.

[30] With the growth of Scouting in Hungary, changes to the organization include girl membership, who have their own patrols, and the expansion from towns into villages, allowing otherwise isolated children to participate.

[15] Prior to World War II, Magyar Cserkészszövetség groups were primarily hosted by schools, and today are more likely to be connected to a church parish.

[15][31] During the Communist period, Magyar Cserkészszövetség lost considerable property, but today owns two campsites near Budapest.

[33] The program is currently organized into three age groups: The Scout Motto is Légy Résen translating as Be Prepared.
