The association's development was supported by the Belgian Guides Catholiques de Belgique and the Italian Associazione Guide e Scouts Cattolici Italiani.[1] In 2011, the collaboration with the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts was terminated.[why?]
It is one of the WAGGGS affiliates which also accepts boys as youth members,[3] without being also a World Organization of the Scout Movement member.
