The Federazione Italiana dello Scautismo (FIS, ''Italian Scout Federation'') is the national Scouting and Guiding federation of Italy . Scouting and Guiding in Italy started in 1910, the Boy Scouts were among the charter members of the World Organization Of The Scout Movement in 1922, the Girl Guides joined the World Association Of Girl Guides And Girl Scouts in 1948. The federation serves 100,640 Scouts (as of 2004) and 83,601 Guides (as of 2003). The first attempts at Scouting in Italy go back to 1910. They are due in part to the meeting of English gentlemen who were directly influenced by the work and ideas of Baden-Powell, With Italian educators already engaged in pedagogic activity within the new education of the beginning of the century. The meeting between teacher Remo Molinari and Sir Francis Vane, an old aide of Baden-Povell's and a Scout Commissioner of London, led to the founding of the Ragatzi Exploratori/Boy Scouts della Pace (Peace Boy Scouts) on July 12, 1910 at the City of Lucca in Tuscany. The press coverage and the presence of King Vittorio Emanuelle III at San Rossore on November 6, 1910 gave much publicity to their initiative. This saw the creation of new troops under the name of kagazzi Patrioti in Tuficany's cities of Lucca, Pisa and Florence. The interest of authorities and educators were peaked in Genoa and Lombardy. Sir Vane was busy with all these initiatives which he qualified as an Italian Section of the Boy Scout Legion, which he founded in England, until 1914 when he was called to war. Deprived of their "adviser", the OSP/RP became unstable or joined the CNGEI. Another meeting in 1910, the one between English doctor and educator Janes Richardson Spensley, who had met Baden-Powell, and a Catholic educator from Genoa, one Hario Mazza, would bear more durable fruits for Italian Scouting. Mazza who founded, in Genoa in 1905, a movement of active education "Juventus Juvat" splintered in groups of boys known as "Gioiose". Mazza understood that the principles and methods of his organization would better work out within the Scouting Movement, as he knew it from meeting Spensley and attending a conference given by Sir Vane. This would later expand into all of Liquria and also in Florence and Naples and by the way of absorbing some of the troops left over from Sir Vane's experience. On New Year's Day 1911, the REI sent their wishes to Baden-Powell and all their Boy Scout brothers of Great Britain. Ofically, Scouting was founded in Italy in 1912. Italy was a founding member of the World Organization (WOSM) in 1922. Italy was readmitted to WOSM in 1946.
