The FederScout, Italian Federation of the Scout Movement (the name adopted in 2006 in place of Scautistica Italian Federation) is a federation meets in Italy Scout Associations regional or local. At the international level since January 27, 2008 adheres to the World Federation of Independent Scouts ( WFIS ).

Story

The FederScout was born in 1986 by some independent Italian association scout. The founding organizations were: the Association of Young Explorers Sardis (AGES) in Sardinia, the Scouts and Guides Association of Europe (ASGE) and the Nautical Center Scout (CNS) of Lazio and the Friends of Scout Initiatives (AMIS) in Trieste . Also in 1986 he was created a school for training leaders at the federal level. From 1987 to January 2008 FederScout joined the Confédération Européenne de Scouting (CES). At the end of January 2008, to expand opportunities for international meetings of its members and strengthen a fundamental aspect of the Scout method, which is International Friendship, the FederScout has joined the World Federation of Independent Scouts (WFIS). Currently FederScout, open to all Scouts actually, counts 16 associations operating in various regions of Italy.

Methodological Characteristics

A peculiar characteristic of his nature FederScout is truly federal. In fact, in some way anticipated the request of the Company's current decentralization as the administrative and organizational point of view of the Federated Associations are completely independent, then the best response to local needs, leaving, however, its representative to the Federation of National and International , Formation and organization of the Heads of all that is of common interest such as, for example, national meetings and activities for kids of all ages such as: Dating Castorini, National Board for Cubs , Scouts Camps for National / Scouts / Guides, etc. Rover Moot., or participation in events such as International Eurojam, Indaba, Twinning with groups from other countries etc.. etc. ..

The experience FederScout can be considered a laboratory.

This enabled the FederScout today to find the balance that makes it grow and look to the future with greater safety and awareness.
