In 1953, delegates from 18 countries founded "The International Fellowship of Former Scouts and Guides" "IFOFSAG" with the approval of the world organizations of Scouts and Guides. Both WOSM and WAGGGS have a representative from their world body sitting as member of the World Committee of IFOFSAG. In 1996, the name was changed to: International Scouts and Guides Fellowship (ISGF).
ISGF sponsors a stamp bank program using donated used postage stamps to raise money to benefit Scout development programs around the world.
