The Federación de Scouts-Exploradores de España (ASDE, Federation of Spanish Scouts/Explorers) is a Spanish Scout association. It is one of the members of the Federación de Escultismo en España and thus of the World Organization of the Scout Movement. It serves 31,458 members (as of 2006).[1]

History

[edit]
Main article: Exploradores de España

The Exploradores de España, of whom ASDE claims to be heir, was founded in 1912 by Teodoro Iradier y Herrero and Arturo Cuyás under the name Exploradores de España - Boy-scouts españoles (Explorers of Spain - Spanish Boy-Scouts). It was among the founding members of the Boy Scouts' International Conference in 1920.

In 1940, after the Spanish Civil War the Exploradores de España were suspended by Franco's regime, but afterwards could continue their activities as Asociación Nacional de Exploradores de España (ANEDE, National Association of Spanish Explorers) with a semi-tolerated status.

The organisation was fully legalised in 1977 under the name Asociación de Scouts de España (The Scout Association of Spain) during the reforms after Franco's death. In 1978, it formed the Federación de Escultismo en España with the Movimiento Scout Católico and the Federació Catalana d'Escoltisme i Guiatge and was readmitted to the World Organization of the Scout Movement the same year.
