Scouting Since Break With Yugoslavia
On June 2, 1991, Savez Izviđača Hrvatske broke ties with the Scout Association of Yugoslavia and reorganized, returning to its earlier principles of youth education. It received recognition by numerous western nations. On July 19, 1993, World Organization of the Scout Movement voted the Savez Izviđača Hrvatske to full membership. Croatian Scouts have participated internationally in Jamborees, including the World Jamboree in Holland in 1995, the 1996 Danish Jamboree and the 1998 World Jamboree in Chile.
There were 3,865 Scouts in 1998, and as of 2005 the count was 4,068.
Among the group's programs is "The Sunrise City Project", which since 1993 offers an annual summer camp intended to assist children impacted by the 1991 war in reintegration to society.
