The Studentenstam De Delftsche Zwervers (Delft Rovers Student crew) is a small student society in Delft, The Netherlands. It meets weekly on Thursday evening, in the rearmost tower of the monumental Kruithuis (designed in 1660 by Pieter Post). The members are from Delft University of Technology and other higher education institutions.
History
On 11 October 1920 the Delftsche Zwervers were founded as a Rover crew for students. The society succeeded the (Delftsche) Studentenclub voor Oud-Padvinders, (Delft Student club for former Scouts) which had been formed on 8 November 1915. Until the end of the sixties the society had been deeply rooted in scouting, but was always critical to the national scouting organisation. Later the group changed more and more in a student society, but the society is still a member of Scouting Nederland. Taking the founding date as that of (Delftsche) Studentenclub voor Oud-Padvinders in 1915, the Delftsche Zwervers is the oldest student Scouting Group in the world. This title has also been claimed by the Oxford University Scout and Guide Group.
Activities
Every member organises from time to time an evening programme. One recurring activity is the organisation of the annual camps for children on the Scouting campsite Gilwell Ada's hoeve in Ommen, The Netherlands. Since their establishment, the Delftsche Zwervers have tried to do something for society by organising activities for children in difficult situations.
