Spain has 58,744 Scouts (as of 2004) served by Federación de Escultismo en España ("Federation of Scouting in Spain"), a federation of several organizations. Scouting was founded in Spain in 1912 and was among the charter members of the World Organization of the Scout Movement in 1922.

In 1940, as a consequence of the Spanish Civil War, Scouting was suspended until 1977 when the Asociación Nacional de Exploradores de España (ANEDE) (English: National Association for Spanish Scouts) movement was legalized to replace the Asociación de Scouts de España.

In 1978, the World Office of the Scouting Movement consolidated membership of three organizations (Scouts de España, Movimiento Scout Católico y Escultismo catalán) as the Federación de Escultismo en España. The structure of the Federation includes autonomous branches for the Basque autonomous Province of Spain.

Members

Current full members of the federation are
*the Movimiento Scout Católico (MSC, Catholic, coed)
*the Federación de Asociaciones de Scouts de España (ASDE, interreligious, coed).

The Federació Catalana d'Escoltisme i Guiatge (FCEG) recently changed its former full membership to associated membership within the national federation. It is only active in Catalonia and consists again of three associations:
*the "Minyons Escoltes i Guies de Catalunya" (MEG, Catholic, coed), which is also part of MSC
*the "Escoltes Catalans" (EC, interreligious, coed)
* "Acció Escolta de Catalunya" (AE, interreligious; also affiliated to ASDE; WOSM-Member only).

The FCEG is also a member of the Comité de Enlace del Guidismo en España, which is the Spanish member of the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts.
