Argentina
Scouts de Argentina (Scouts of Argentina) is the national Scouting association of Argentina. Scouting was officially founded in Argentina in 1912, shortly after the publication of "Scouting For Boys" in Spanish, was granted a National Charter in 1917, and was among the charter members of the World Organization of the Scout Movement in 1922. Scouts de Argentina has 46,232 members (as of 2004).
A Scout patrol of Anglo-Argentine students greeted Baden-Powell on his way to visit Chile in 1908. In the late 1930s, a Catholic Scout Union (USCA) was created under the sponsorship of the Roman Catholic Church and operated separately until December 2, 1996, when INSA and USCA merged to form the Scouts of Argentina
