The Deutscher Pfadfinderbund Namibia (German Scout Association of Namibia, formerly Deutscher Pfadfinderbund Südwestafrika, the German Scout Association of South-West Africa) is a small Scouting association open mainly to boys and girls of German descent in Namibia.
The Deutscher Pfadfinderbund Namibia is one of the 34 members of the Deutscher Kulturrat (DKR) in Namibia.
The Bund deutscher Pfadfinder Südwestafrikas (Union of German Scouts in South-West Africa), the first German oriented Scouting organization, was founded in 1928 and dissolved by the South African administration in 1939 on the outbreak of World War II. The actual association was founded in the 1960s, under the name Deutscher Pfadfinderbund Südwestafrika. After the independence of Namibia in 1990, the organization was renamed to Deutscher Pfadfinderbund Namibia. In 2010, there were three groups across the country with less than 100 members.[1]
In 1937, Heinz Anton Klein-Werner wrote the song "Südwesterlied" (Hart wie Kameldornholz) for the German Scouts which later became the unofficial national anthem of the German Namibians.
German-speaking Scout units can also be found within the Scouts of Namibia.[2] The Altpfadfindergilde Swakopmund serves former Scouts; it is an extraordinary member of the Verband Deutscher Altpfadfindergilden within the International Scout and Guide Fellowship.
