Boy Scouts van Suriname is the national Scouting organization of Suriname. Scouting in Suriname officially started in 1924 and became a member of the World Organization of the Scout Movement (WOSM) in 1968. The coeducational association has 2,601 members (as of 2004). ==History== On September 12, 1910, the "Korps Surinamese Boy Scouts" was established in Thalia. In 1915 the name was "Surinaamsche Padvinders Organisatie". There was no more activity, after Scouting was blamed for the drowning of 16-year-old Boy Scout, Herman Sas Römer, on March 13, 1916 in the Dominékreek near Poelepantje.〔( Suriname : koloniaal nieuws- en advertentieblad, Een treurig ongeval. ) 〕 Scouting in Suriname officially restarted on July 29, 1924, when the Surinamese district of the Vereeniging de Nederlandsche Padvinders (NPV) was officially founded in the Thalia theatre in Paramaribo. On this occasion, 107 Boy Scouts, many Cub Scouts and some girls made their Scout Promise.〔(Dagblad Suriname, Boy Scouts 84 jaar )〕 In 1938, the Dutch Scout movement was split after a decision of the Roman Catholic episcopate into the interreligious NPV and the ''Katholieke Verkenners'' (KV). Scouting in Suriname had to follow this despite all protests, so the ''Katholieke Verkenners Suriname'' (KVS) were founded out of the Catholic members of the groups. The logo of the KVS was the same as the KV, a Fleur-de-lis for Boy Scouts, on a cross potent for Catholic Scouts. During World War II, the Surinamese Scouts had to stand alone, since Scouting was banned in the German occupied Netherlands. So, after the war, the Suriname district of NPV decided to found an own, nearly independent association, the ''Surinaamse Padvinders Vereniging'' (SPV), which was incorporated in 1964. SPV and KVS worked close together and received recognition by WOSM in 1968, seven years before the independence of Suriname. After four years of cooperation both association merged and formed the ''Boy Scouts van Suriname'' on April 23, 1972. The first Chief Scout was Johan Ferrier. 〔 (Johan Ferrier, eerste Chief Scout Suriname )〕 In 1974, the new association hosted the ''5th Caribbean Jamboree''. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Boy Scouts van Suriname」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
