The emblem of the "Katholieke Verkenners", consisted of a Fleur-de-lis for Boy Scouts, on a cross potent for Catholic Scouts, a variant was used by the Katholieke Verkenners Suriname. Het Nederlandsche Meisjesgilde had the same emblem with an eight-point star but with the letters NMG. Before 1936 the NPG had the same emblem with an eight-point star because of an eight-point law. The emblem of "Het Nederlandse Padvindstersgilde" (NPG) consisted of a ten-point white star for the ten lines in the Girl Scouts law on a blue Trefoil for Girl Scouting/Guiding with the Scout Motto "Wees Bereid", variants are still in use by Het Surinaamse Padvindsters Gilde, Het Arubaanse Padvindsters Gilde and Padvindstersvereniging van de Nederlandse Antillen. The emblem of "De Nederlandse Padvinders" consisted of a Fleur-de-lis and a banner with the Scout Motto "Weest Paraat". The four separate organisations (NPV, KV, NPG and NG) existed until 1973, when they all merged into Scouting Nederland (SN).Įmblem of Het Nederlandse Padvindstersgilde After the end of the war, Scouting again became very popular and therefore many of the current local Scout Groups in the Netherlands were founded in 1945 or 1946. Still, many continued their activities secretly. On 16 January 1916 the Het Nederlandsche Meisjesgilde (NMG, Dutch Girls Guild) started, which later changed its name to Het Nederlandse Padvindsters Gilde (NPG, Dutch Girl-pathfinders Guild), followed in 1945 by the founding of a separate Catholic organisation, the Nederlandse Gidsenbeweging (NGB, Dutch Guide Movement), which later changed its name to Nederlandse Gidsen (NG, Dutch Guides).ĭuring World War II all Scouting movements were prohibited and officially dissolved in the Netherlands, because the organizations refused to merge with National Youth Storm, the Dutch Nazi youth organization. Girls had also been member of the NPO but the NPV was boys only. Girls got their first own organisation in 1911, Eerste Nederlandsche Meisjes Gezellen Vereeniging (E.N.M.G.V., First Dutch Girls Companions Society), but this organisation never got many members. The Katholieke Verkenners became a separate organisation again in 1961. After negotiations the Katholieke Verkenners were allowed to go on as Verkenners van de Katholieke Jeugdbeweging (Scouts of the Catholic youth movement). After World War II the Roman Catholic Church wanted to merge all Roman Catholic youth organisations. First inside the NPV, but after 1938 as a separate organisation. Although the NPV was open to boys of all religions, a Roman Catholic organisation was founded in 1930, the Katholieke Verkenners (KV, Catholic Scouts). The PVN was not refounded after World War II. The NPV and the PVN almost reunited in 1940. The Scout Groups found that one grew hypocrites this way. The difficulty was that boys who recognised no god still had to promise "To do my duty to God and my country". In 1933 some Scout Groups broke away from the NPV to form the Padvinders Vereniging Nederland (PVN, Pathfinder Association the Netherlands), because difficulties concerning the Scout Promise arose. They merged with the Nederlandsche Padvinders Bond (NPB, Netherlands Pathfinder Federation) on 11 December 1915 and became known as De Nederlandse Padvinders (NPV, Netherlands Pathfinders). On 7 January 1911 the first national organisation was founded, the Nederlandsche Padvinders Organisatie (NPO, Netherlands Pathfinder Organisation). Dutch Scouts were among the founding members of World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts in 1928 and also among the charter members of the World Organization of the Scout Movement in 1920. Scouting started about a year later for girls. Scouting for boys was started in the Netherlands in the summer of 1910 when the first Scout troops were formed in a few cities.
