In 1965, the Association began major reforms that will shape the Scouting today. In 1966 it created the branch ''Pionniers'' for scouts between 14 and 17 years of age. This initiative marks the introduction of a method that will gradually be applied to all branches.
in 1966, the national scarf blue and yellow was adopted.
In the mid-70s to present an interlocutor Quebec provincial government, ASC decided to initiate a process of decentralization will lead to the creation of four regional federations: Quebec, Ontario, West and the Maritimes. Several services, programs and responsibilities will be transferred to the federations.
In 1977, l'ASC established branch Castors (beavers) for 7-8 years.
From September 1991, all units can be mixed.


In June 1994, the [[Association des Guides Francophones du Canada]] (Canadian French speaking Guides association) voted against a new protocol from the [[Girl Guides of Canada]] which asked for the return to female-only leaders and management, getting rid of almost 60% of the adults simply because they were men. In August of the same year the AGFC recommended to his members to go with the ASC and in October it became official. Since then French speaking Girl Guides are pretty much non existent.
