Scouting (and Guiding) in Slovenia is served by three associations: Zveza tabornikov Slovenije (ZTS, Scout Association of Slovenia), member of the World Organization of the Scout Movement (WOSM) Združenje slovenskih katoliških skavtinj in skavtov (ZSKSS, Slovenian Catholic Guides and Scouts Association), member of the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts (WAGGGS) (ZBKOSS, Slovenian National Scout and Guide Fellowship), member of the International Scout and Guide Fellowship (ISGF). Despite the split membership in the different world organizations, ZTS and ZSKSS are both coeducational. Participation in WOSM and WAGGGS events is open to individual members of both associations. Slovene minorities in the adjacent countries are served by two organizations: Slovenska zamejska skavtska organizacija (SZSO) serving Slovenes in Friuli-Venezia Giulia, affiliated to ZSKSS and cooperating with the Italian Associazione Guide e Scouts Cattolici Italiani. Before the rebirth of independent Slovenian Scouting in 1990, SZSO acted as a Scouts-in-Exile organization. Slovenski koroški skavti in skavtinje (SKSS) serving Slovenes in Austria, affiliated to the Pfadfinder und Pfadfinderinnen Österreichs.

The Slovenia Scout Region was established in early 1923 in Ljubljana. The first Slovene Scout and Guide camp was organized during the summer of 1923 at a Slovene alpine resort. Scouting in Slovenia was officially dissolved on June 10, 1941 because of World War II. Just prior to the dissolution, there were 1,380 members of the Slovene Scout Organization.
