In 1997 the two Scout associations, Antilliaanse Padvinders Vereniging (APV, Antillean Scout Association), and the Katholieke Verkenners Nederlandse Antillen (KVNA, the Catholic Scouts of the Netherlands Antilles) merged. On April 15, 2000 Aruba got its own organisation, Scouting Aruba. With the scheduled dissolution of the Netherlands Antilles in 2010, the organization may split.

Scouting Antiano primarily follows the Dutch system of Scouting.

The Scout Motto is Sea Prepara, Be Prepared in Papiamento, and Weest Paraat in Dutch.

Scouting Antiano share their headquarters with the "Padvindstersvereniging van de Nederlandse Antillen" and other Netherlands Antillean youth organisations.
