On 11 | On [[1920-10-11]] the ''Delftsche Zwervers'' were founded as a [[Rover Scouts|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 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]], which was founded in 1919. | ||
