The Associazione Italiana Guide e Scouts d'Europa Cattolici (translation: Italian Association Catholic Guides and Scouts of Europe, AIGSEC), better known as Federazione dello Scautismo Europeo (Federation of European Scouting, FSE) or Scouts d'Europa (Scouts of Europe), is a Catholic Scouting and Guiding association in Italy, formed in 1976.

In 1974 the Associazione Scouts Cattolici Italiani (ASCI, established in 1916) and the Associazione Guide Italiane (AGI, established in 1943), the main Catholic male and female associations, were merged into the co-educational Associazione Guide e Scouts Cattolici Italiani (AGESCI). Two years later, some AGESCI groups and individual members, along with some ASCI and AGI leaders who had disagreed with the merger (and, above all, opposed the principle of coeducation) and had refused to join AGESCI, formed the Associazione Italiana Guide e Scouts d'Europa Cattolici (AIGSEC/FSE).[1]

As of 2021, AIGSEC included 20,105 members, 203 local groups and 1,361 units,[2] making it the second-largest organisation of that kind in the country, second only to AGESCI. AIGSEC is also the second-largest member of the International Union of Guides and Scouts of Europe or European Scouting Federation (UIGSE–FSE).[3]
