In 1945 a Canadian by the name of Mac Gearchie and Kas Vermeer from Utrecht in the Netherlands founded the first Scouting group in Borculo. The group had the name Mac Gearchie group. There meetings were held in the buildings of the Leostichting a house for young boys. Later on there were two groups founded in Borculo: a group from the N.V.P. (Dutch Girl scouts association) and a girlscout group with the name Vendeldedegd group. Due the fact of a lack of interest the two latest named groups stopped there meetings. The N.V.P. kept there meetings on the Leostichting.
Later on the two groups were founded again and was Borculo counting three Scouting groups. The Gearchie group had there meetings in a building behind the catholic church. The N.V.P had there meeting on the Sprakelberg, a wood in one of the villages of Borculo Geesteren. And the Ixenietagroup (Brownies/juniors and the girl scouts) held there meetings in a building in the Hessenstraat and later on in a building from the catholic school
In 1978 al the groups were combined to one foundation with the name Scouting Borculo and under the group name Scouting Cycloongroup Borculo.
In 1985 we started to bring all the groups on one meetings place namely the Sprakelberg. In 1990 we had a subsidy from the town Borculo to build a new clubhouse. Also we have got subsidy from Jantje Beton, Catholic needs and from Scouting Netherlands. With this money we were able to renovate our Mulderhuus. In 1991 we opened our new clubhouse and now we had two clubhouses enough room for all the groups to have there meetings at the Sprakelberg.
1995 was for Scouting Cycloongroep Borculo a festal year, in that year it was 50 years ago that the first Scouting group was founded in Borculo. We had a big party with all the members, leaders and a reunion for old leaders and members. As memory to these groups we received an copper ships bell to open and close our meetings and as an memory to Mac Gearchie and Kas Vermeer who founded Scouting in Borculo.
In 2000 we celebrated 55 year Scouting Cycloongroep Borculo with a big camp on camp site the Ada's Hoeve near Ommen.
In 2004 we subscribed our 150 th member.
In 2005 we celebrated our 60 year Scouting Cycloongroep Borculo with a big camp on our own campsite.
