De Delftsche Zwervers on their pier after dinner

The Studentenstam De Delftsche Zwervers (Delft Rovers Student crew) is a student society in Delft, The Netherlands. It meets weekly on Thursday evening, in the rearmost tower of the monumental Kruithuis, a former gunpowder arsenal designed in 1660 by Pieter Post. The members are from Delft University of Technology and other higher education institutions.

History

On 1920-10-11 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 1915-11-08. Until the end of the sixties the society was deeply rooted in Scouting, but always critical of the national Scouting organisation. Later the group developed to a student society, albeit 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, which was founded in 1919 and is certainly the oldest student Scouting Group in the United Kingdom.

Activities

The campsite in Ommen

From time to time, each member organises an evening programme. As a result, the activities are very diverse: soldering with LEDs, playing with old computers, role-playing games, painting, sculpting in cellular concrete, pionieering, canoeing, etc. Members frequently go outdoors, for example camping and doing odd jobs on the Scouting campsite Gilwell Ada's hoeve or in the winter hiking in the Ardennes. 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 aimed to contribute to society by organising activities for children in hardship situations. From 1922 they went camping with children from a children's home (Martha Stichting, Alphen aan den Rijn), later other groups like refugee children from East Germany, but presently these are school camps for children in Special education from The Hague.
