In 1974, AGI merged with the Associazione Scouts Cattolici Italiani (ASCI), its male counterpart, started in 1916, to form the Associazione Guide e Scouts Cattolici Italiani (AGESCI), one of the first co-educational organizations in world Scouting. Many AGI leaders who disagreed with the merger (and the principle of co-education) formed the Associazione Italiana Guide e Scouts d'Europa Cattolici (AIGSEC) in 1976, along with former leaders of ASCI and disgruntled members of AGESCI.[1]
