Close connections were formed with [[Girl Guide|Guide]] and Scout organizations of many European countries, when children from areas affected by the [[Chernobyl accident]] were invited to summer camps abroad during the [[Chernobyl Children's Project]] in 1990. Especially close links were developed with [[Girl Guides Association of Cyprus|Cyprus]], and between [[Minsk]] and the [[Girlguiding UK|Guides]] of Lincolnshire.
