Associazione Italiana Guide e Scouts d'Europa Cattolici

The Associazione Italiana Guide e Scouts d'Europa Cattolici (Italian Association Catholic Guides and Scouts of Europe, AIGSEC), better known in Italy as Federazione dello Scautismo Europeo (FSE) or Scouts d'Europa, is a Catholic Guiding and Scouting association in Italy.

Formed in 1976, AIGESC includes 19,522 members and 221 local groups,[1] and is the second-largest organization of that kind in the country, second only to the Associazione Guide e Scouts Cattolici Italiani (AGESCI), born by the merger of the Associazione Scouts Cattolici Italiani (ASCI) with the Associazione Guide Italiane (AGI) in 1974. AIGESC was founded two years later by former leaders of ASCI and AGI, along with some disgruntled members of AGESCI.[2][3]

The AIGESC is the second-largest member of the International Union of Guides and Scouts of Europe or European Scouting Federation (UIGSE–FSE).[4]
