The topic of this thesis is education for sustainable development in scouting, and it consists of a theoretical and an empirical part. On the one hand, the theoretical part includes the history of the concept of sustainable development, an explanation of the main constructs: education for sustainable development, the difference between the terms sustainability and sustainable development, and scouting as a movement. On the other hand, the empirical part includes the research methodology of education for sustainable development in scouting. The main goal of the paper is to research how scouts in the Republic of Croatia perceive their role in the promotion of education for sustainable development. For this purpose, qualitative research was conducted with the presidents of scout groups in the Republic of Croatia. A semistructured interview was used for data collection, while a thematic analysis was used for data analysis. The results of the research show that scouts are actively involved in the implementation and promotion of education for sustainable development through almost all program areas of the scouting movement, i.e. activities at the international, national, and local levels, which in some segments are good examples of achieving the global goals of sustainable development. Scout presidents see the importance of sustainable development and successfully perceive it through all three of its dimensions, and because of the very nature of scouting, they recognize everyone's interest in the topic of sustainable development.
