It was purchased in 1911 by R baron van Pallandt van Eerde, to be part of his Eerde Estate. Upon his death his nephew [[Philip baron van Pallandt]] inherited the estate. Philip was a keen [[Scouter]] and invited Scouts to camp on his estate by 1913. Camp Eerde was popular with 2500 camper nights in 1920, and 15,000 in 1924. Late 1922, Ada's Hoeve was dedicated to Scouting use, and on 9 July 1923, the Dutch Chief Scout (Hoofdverkenner) [[Jean Jacques Rambonnet|J.J.

From the start, the site was leased to [[Scouting Nederland|De Nederlandsche Padvinders]], who became full owner in 1935. In the subsequent years, several additions were done, including the scout group house ''Rambonnet house'' in 1948, and in the 1950s the campfire area, warehouse, offices, and the ornamental entrance gates. In 1993, the Rambonnet house was destroyed by fire. Two years later, the [[18th World Scout Jamboree]] was organized in nearby Dronten. After the jamboree, the jamboree headquarters was dismantled and re-erected on the site of the former Rambonnet house, and renamed ''Jamboree house'', serving again as scout group accommodation.<ref name=ada-history/> | From the start, the site was leased to [[Scouting Nederland|De Nederlandsche Padvinders]], who became full owner in 1935.
