Russian Boy Scouting was founded in 1909, and Girl Scouting in 1914.  It remained active among overseas exile groups following the Russian Revolution in 1917.  After World War II, many Russian Scouts were located in refugee camps in West Germany.  A camp post was set up under direction of R. Polchaninoff.

The most active unit of the Russian Scouts-in-exile is in New York.  Other units are located in Chicago and Los Angeles.  The National Organization of Russian Scouts (N.O.R.S.) has been a principle agent in helping to restore the Scouting movement in Russia since the fall of the USSR.
