History

Schaap's contributions to Scouting include the Dutch translation of Scouting for Boys (1924 and several later editions), and other Scouting books. In The Hague, he led the '2nd The Hague Troup' (Dutch: 2e 's-Gravenhaagsche troep), together with Philip baron van Pallandt, who later inherited the site for Gilwell Ada's Hoeve. In July 1923, Schaap organized the first Dutch Wood Badge Scout leadership training on Scout centre Gilwell Ada's Hoeve in Ommen. As the editor of the monthly magazine De Padvinder (1914 onward), he wrote the campsong of the 5th World Scout Jamboree in Vogelenzang.(lyrics: Dutch: In 19-3-7 zul je wat beleven, dan komt de jamboree naar Nederland).[2]

gollark: Why specifically *those*?
gollark: If you just define anything which happens as being part of the balance retroactively, then it is not meaningful to complain about it.
gollark: Well, it's a thing which happens in nature.
gollark: There was an experiment which wanted to demonstrate group selection. They put flies that in an environment with limited resources which could only support so many fly children. If nature was nice and kind, they would magically turn down their breeding. As is quite obvious in retrospect, evolutionary processes would *never do this* and they cannibalized each other's young.
gollark: There are nasty things like those various parasitic wasps.
