In 1971, the Asia Pacific Regional Fund was established through the initiatives of a member of the Asia Pacific. Sources of funds were mainly from donations and proceeds from the AP Bazaars organized at Regional events. Regional Funds were used for special projects and to augment WAGGGS allocation.  

1971年亞太區率先成立了亞太基金會。資金的來源主要來自於捐款，以及亞太區各種大會活動的義賣所得。亞太基金會主要贊助了一些特殊專案，以及增加捐款給世界女童軍總會。

In order to deliver WAGGGS strategy in the Asia Pacific and bringing bigger impact to the wider audience, the AP Committee continuously explored avenues for fund raising at the regional level. In one of the Committee meetings Dr. Juseon Byun was invited to participate in the discussion on how to organize the Friends of AP. At the same time she was appointed chairman of the Fund Development Ad hoc(ad hocery adhocery) group together with four other former members of the AP Committee. It was during this period that the membership scheme for the Friends of AP Region was developed and approved by the AP Committee. Leaflets and membership forms were produced. The essential elements of the scheme were the following:  

為了提交在亞太區的策略計劃給世界女童軍總會，以及培育和擴大影響給社會大眾。亞太委員會將基金會提升到亞太地區層級，以及堅持而連續地解決問題。卞柱仙博士被邀請參加一次亞太委員會會議，討論如何組織「亞太之友」，同時她也被指派擔任「基金會發展專小組」主席，與四位前亞太委員會委員一起工作。

Objectives目標

• To raise funds for the AP Region to support projects / programmes addressing leadership training for young women.

  為亞太區增加基金，以贊助青年婦女的領導才能訓練專案。
• Support Member Organizations in carrying out projects / programme of the AP region related leadership training for young women.

  贊助亞太區各女童軍總會的青年婦女的領導才能訓練專案。

As with any other regional initiative, it took a long time to get the project going. For almost one triennium membership take-up was very slow. It took another triennium before the results of the efforts put in by Member Organizations became evident. 

其間花費了許多時間，以配合其他亞太區提案。在前三年期間執行招募會員事宜非常遲緩。在接下來的三年，在各國女童軍總會的努力之下，有了裴然的成果。

The Fund Development ad hoc group on the other hand tried very hard to raise money in the forms of Silent Auction, individual solicitations etc. 

在另一方面，「基金會發展專小組」努力地以「寧靜拍賣」，「個人募款」等各種方式來提高基金。

In 1998 when Juseon was elected as chairman of the Asia Pacific Committee, the membership of Ad hoc group was reorganized. Dr. Amelita D. Go was appointed chairman. The Ad hoc group work by correspondence and meetings were held during regional events when possible. 

1998年卞柱仙博士被選為太委員會主席。「基金會發展專小組」被改組。亞美莉妲‧高博士被選為主席。「基金會發展專小組」以通信，以及在可能的情況下，在亞太會議或活動時開會。

During this triennium membership drives of some Member Organizations started to flourish. In some cases due to large membership, National Organizations had to appoint coordinators. Also Friends of AP of various countries started to organize activities for themselves providing opportunities to get together. A couple of countries have also organized trips and fund raising for the group activities.  

再接下來的三年，一些亞太之友會員國，開始發展而且擴大規模。有些較多亞太之友會員的總會，派任專責的執行長。而且各個亞太之友會員國，也開始自行籌劃活動，提供會員有聚會機會。有些會員國籌組旅遊，以及募款。作為該會員國的團體活動。

In the triennium 1998-2001, The AP Committee appointed three Ad hoc groups. These were:

每個「專案工作小組」成員由兩位亞太委員和一位工作人員，以及兩位亞太之友會員國會員組成。這些「專案工作小組」以通信運作，以及提供建議給亞太委員會。亞太基金會發展工作小組和財務「專案工作小組」一起工作。
