SCOUTING IN ARUBA

Aruba is a small, independent island off the north coast of Venezuela, South America.

Scouting is active in Aruba. Although Aruba is an independent country, it's Scouting programs were greatly influenced by the Netherlands. Scouting in Aruba is centered around the cities and villages. There is one large Scout Association and one very small one. Both Scout Associations are negotiating a merger.

Scouts in Aruba participate in many Caribbean Camps. They often travel by boat to camp on nearby islands with other Caribbean Scouts.

Program Sections:

  Beavers- ages 5 to 7 ( boys and girls)

  Cubs- ages 7 to 10 ( mixed sections exist)

  Scouts- ages 10 to 14 ( mixed sections exist)

  Explorers- ages 15 to 18 (boys and girls)

  Rovers- ages 18 to 23 (boys and girls)

Scout Motto:

Weest Paraat Be Prepared

Scout Oath:

Ik beloof mijn iederene te helpen waar ik kan mijn plicht te doen tegenover god en mijn land en de padvinders wet te gehoorzamen.

Scout Law:

Een Scout trekt er samen met de anderen op uit om de wereld om zich heen te ontdekken, deze meer leefbaar te maken en hij is eerlijk, trouw en houdt vol, is spaarzaam en sober en zorgt goed voor de natuur en respecteert zichzelf en anderem.

A Scout explores the world together with others and tries to improve it. He is honest, loyal and doesn't give up easily. Further, a Scout is efficient and sober, takes good care for nature and respects himself and others.
