Scouting
The Scouting career of Rambonnet started in 1920, that year he succeeded Prince Hendrik as head of the Boy Scouts in the Netherlands and was appointed chairman of the association "De Nederlandsche Padvinders" (NPV, The Dutch Pathfinders). When Scouting in the Netherlands started to follow more "English" rules, Rambonnet became in 1928 the first (and last) chief Scout of the Boy Scouts in the Netherlands. He held this position until just after the 5th World Scout Jamboree.

The "Rambonnethuis", a model for an ideal group home, that stood from 28 August 1948 to 19 March 1993 at the national Scouting campsite Gilwell Ada's Hoeve in Ommen, was named after Rambonnet. There are also several Scout Groups after him.
