3 unusual facts about Scouting and Guiding in Italy


Scouting and Guiding in Italy

The Austro-Hungarian soldier and Austrian Scoutleader Julius Markaritzer founded in 1916 a Scout troop in Trento.

The Pope, as Bishop of Rome, is required to approve the appointment of chaplains for all AGESCI Scout groups in Rome, and for all Scout districts of Rome (even though this is usually delegated to the Cardinal Vicar).

This saw the creation of new troops under the name of Ragazzi Patrioti in Tuscany's cities of Lucca, Pisa and Florence.
