Just finished the dissertation the founder of YMCA, Bertram A. Shuman, offers its partners make an extraordinary meeting on Saturday April 10. Unanimously approved the motion and is established as the sole item on the Agenda Committee to form a Promoter of Scouting in Argentina. Until then the existing companies had emerged from individual initiatives, without a guide.
On August 10 were elected members of the Scouting Promoter Commission:

*Secretary: MS Fairlie
*Treasurer: J. Wilson
*Vocals: Penny and Arthur CC Kennard.
Promotion of Scouting in Argentina
Travel to United States
As part of this commitment, YMCA sent him to Russell D. Christian to United States to interview Ernest Thompson Seton founded the "Woodcraft Indians", a youth movement that took inspiration from the
Native Americans.
In October 1910, Russell D. Christian, during his return voyage, the ship received a letter from the commission to be the promoter provides Chief Scout. Politely rejected the request to be the future first President of the Argentine Association of Boy Scouts, explaining that if the post was occupied by an outstanding Argentine dissemination of the emerging movement would best support. Finally assumed as National Scout Commissioner (coordinator of educational methods, i.e. Youth Program Training and Scouters).
Tournament Scouts
Immediately Russell D. Christian is dedicated to spreading the scouts and individuals interested in sponsoring a new company. To attain public visibility organizes' Scout Tournament '. On December 8, 1910 is the first tournament with the participation of Scout Companies Lomas de Zamora and Scots College, which were first created. Then, in late 1910, Fairlie organized a camp for the two companies together to Russell D. Christian, who as Assistant Field applies some of the activities observed to Ernest Thompson Seton.
We know, furthermore, that local authorities were also encouraging groups or companies, as they are called in that time. In December 1910 the MS Fairlie organized and ran a camp for the two companies, which assists Russell D. Christian as an assistant.
Companies are beginning to emerge new
In 1911 the branch opened in Boca — Barracks of YMCA, located in the Montes de Oca 958 Street, 2nd Cía. of Barracas and "English High School" was born the 1st Cía. Villa Devoto.
On September 3, 1911, Arthur Penny, the Patrol Guide Lomas de Zamora received a BP in the port, presented to Russell D. Christian with the "Perito" Moreno, then School Board President and Deputy National V.
The "Perito" Moreno permission to follow with interest the development of Scouting in YMCA through conversations with his brother, who participated in the Lomas de Zamora Company. From that meeting was how the 3rd Cía. Barracks (In the present 3er Scout Company Cnel Pringles) at the School of No. 12.CE.No 20 St. Mary Street 479 Barracks with the sponsorship of the "Work of the Fatherland."
In 1911, for the effort and personal contribution of Arthur Young Engineer is published for twelve months, the magazine "El Argentino Scout" then that would be the official organ of the Movement. Young engineer worked installing telephones, radio stations, which is far from Buenos Aires and was so together with Christian, who was convalescing in Cordova, material sent from there to the magazine and continued to appear.
The proposals and ideas of Scouting spread, born ences. In Palermo, Belgrano, Caballito, Flores and the center of the City of Buenos Aires (Estrada Cia). Groups appear to "Boy Scouts", "leading to the Motherland", also "Explorers Argentinos", plus local groups that sponsor foreign Different groups are friends and sometimes mutually antagonistic, lack direction and ran the risk of Scouting pervert.
In that year and early 1912 there are new companies in other areas of the city of Buenos Aires: Palermo, Belgrano, Caballito, Flores and the center of the City of Buenos Aires (Estrada Cia). However, there was a common direction of Scouting Argentina.
Institutionalization of Scouting in Argentina
The Commission on the Promotion of Scouting Argentina emerged from the initiative of YMCA manages the support of the Patriotic Association "Work of the Homeland", consisting of eminent persons, chaired by Francisco Moreno Pascasio, to create a partnership that meets all scattered efforts. On 4 julo 1912 is the constituent assembly of the Argentine Association of Boy Scouts, whose participants were declared "Founders of Scouting in Argentina."

Unification of ASA and USCA
In the 1980s the first exchanges take place between the 2 scouts associations majority of Argentina (INSA after ASA and USCA) to talk about a future unity or federation that meets.
These attempts by certain interests are not always well explained and is not specified, only in 1992 restart talks under the auspices of the Interamerican Scout Office.
As a result of these talks setting up a European Constitution with the task of agreeing a merger status of the two Associations, reserving the USCA as the Association of Private Faithful through the creation of a "Scout Catholic Pastoral Committee (COPASCA) suprainstitucional in character with the new partnership that arises from the unit.
These Agreements are approved by the Argentine Episcopal Conference, but each diocese reserves its right to form private associations of the faithful in their jurisdiction where they can see the identity of the weakened Catholic Scouts in its two key aspects, "Faithfulness to the Scout Movement and fidelity to Catholic doctrine, (USCA WORK OF THE CHURCH).
On December 1 of 1996, merged the Union Scouts Católicos Argentinos (USCA) and the Association of Scouts of Argentina (ASA), a National Assembly in the town of Ezeiza in the land of the Trade Union of Employees of Industry and Textiles Allied Republic of Argentina (SETI).
As a result of this merger creates a unified new partnership: Scouts of Argentina.
Groups Scouts who differ with the idea of creating a unified association Diocesan Associations (ADISCAS) covering the beginning of the article and others are kept separate from any structure, becoming familiarly called "Groups Scouts parish."
