On September 12, 1910, the "Korps Surinamese Boy Scouts" was established in Thalia.

[3] In 1938, the Dutch Scout movement was split after a decision of the Roman Catholic episcopate into the interreligious NPV and the Katholieke Verkenners (KV).

So, after the war, the Suriname district of NPV decided to found its own, nearly independent association, the Surinaamse Padvinders Vereniging (SPV), which was incorporated in 1964.

SPV and KVS worked close together and received recognition by WOSM in 1968, seven years before the independence of Suriname.

After four years of cooperation both association merged and formed the Boy Scouts van Suriname on April 23, 1972.
