In 1998 during the second General Conference of the Union, which took place in the center of the Arab Scout, the Constitution of the Union was amended. On November 18, 1999, the organization Union of Arab Former Scouts and Guides was recognised and considered as the ISGF Arab Region. In 2001, during the Third General Conference of the Union, which was held in Beirut, Lebanon, the Constitution was amended and consequently the name of the Arab Union for Former Scouts and Guides changed to the Arab Union of the pioneers of Scouts and Guides.
