Scoreni is a village located in Strășeni District, Moldova. It neighbors the following communities: Cojușna, Căpriana, from Strășeni, Condrița, Trușeni, suburbs of Chișinău County (Chișinău), and Strășeni. Scoreni is famous because of its well-developed barrel crafting industry. Scoreni is known as a good starting point for hiking excursions because it is surrounded by woods and various other landscape features.
The "Universul" public school serves the village exclusively and is attended by over 500 children; around 30 teachers teach there. The school was built in the late 1980s and is still in a good condition, lately benefiting from European funds for complete renovation and installation of a natural gas heating system. The village has 8 shops, a drugstore, a day-care and a consulting clinic, all built in the late 1980s. The city hall is located in an old Soviet-type building in the center of the village, 50 meters north-west from the school, on the main street.
