Scouting came to Indonesia in 1912, as branch of the Nederlandsche Padvinders Organisatie (NPO, Netherlands Pathfinder Organisation), the first Dutch Scouting organization. After 1916 it was called the Vereeniging Nederlandsch Indische Padvinders (NIPV, Association of Dutch Indies Pathfinders) [1] . As the Dutch East Indies, Indonesia had been a branch of the Netherlands Scout Association, yet Scouting was very popular, and had achieved great numbers and standards. [2]
