Formed as Debatik, an acronym for United Boys of Communist Ideas (Albanian: Djemtë E Bashkuar Anëtarë Të Ideve Komuniste) on 10 February 1942, the movement continued as Organization of Pioneers (Albanian: Organizata e Pionierëve).

The organization started as Debatik, an acronym for United Boys of Communist Ideas (Albanian: Djemtë E Bashkuar Anëtarë Të Ideve Komuniste) on 10 February 1942, and continued as Organization of Pioneers (Albanian: Organizata e Pionierëve) after World War II.

The association created activities for children up to 14 years old, was in charge of the summer Pioneer camps of Albania, organised the pioneers palaces and their yearly national music, language, literature, and painting competitions, and published two magazines, the scientific Horizonti, and the two, more generalistic, Pionieri,[1] for ages 8–14.

Children, at their 8th or 9th year of age, needed to say an admission pledge in order to be accepted in the organization.

Shoku ynë Tili, a 1981 production, described how the organization would affect children's lives academically and socially.
