Details
Before 1973 the scouting was known in general and Protestant circles as 'scouting' (literally taken from the German pfadfinder) and in Catholic circles as 'exploration' (literally taken from the English scout). When in 1973 the four umbrella associations for Boy Scouts, Scouts, Girl Scouts and Guides merged into Scouting Nederland, the names Boy Scout and Exploration were deleted, and scouting was subsequently discussed.

Vóór 1973 stond de scouting in algemene en protestantse kringen bekend als 'padvinderij' (letterlijk overgenomen van het Duitse pfadfinder) en in katholieke kringen 'verkennerij' (letterlijk overgenomen van het Engelse scout) genoemd. Toen in 1973 de vier toenmalige overkoepelende verenigingen voor padvinders, verkenners, padvindsters en gidsen fuseerden tot Scouting Nederland, werden de namen padvinderij en verkennerij geschrapt, en werd er voortaan gesproken over scouting.
