Scouting Antiano
In 1997, two Scout associations, "Antilliaanse Padvinders Vereniging" (APV, Antillean Scout Association), and the "Katholieke Verkenners Nederlandse Antillen" (KVNA, the Catholic Scouts of the Netherlands Antilles) merged. On April 15, 2000, Aruba got its own organisation, Scouting Aruba. Scouting Antiano share their headquarters with the "Padvindstersvereniging van de Nederlandse Antillen" and other Netherlands Antillean youth organisations. "Scouting Antiano" primarily follows the Dutch system of Scouting. The Scout Motto is "Ser Prepara", "Be Prepared" in Papiamento, and "Wees Paraat" in Dutch. On 27 February 2016, the World Scout Committee recognized Scouting Antiano as the National Scout Organization of the Curaçao and conferred it with Full WOSM Membership with voting rights. The membership certificate was presented to the organisation in the 41st World Scout Conference, which was conducted in Baku of Azerbaijan in 2017.
