Scout Stamp BookletsStamp Booklets related to Boy Scouts and Girl Guides / Girl ScoutsBy Hallvard Slettebø, Norway |
Quite few scout stamps are issued in booklets, so this is a collecting area that is both manageable and, not least, it is very interesting. Not only the stamps themselves, but also text and illustrations on the booklet covers and inserts represent fine elements in a topical or thematic collection.
As far as I know, this is the first attempt to list all stamp booklets related to scouting.

These are all boy scout and girl guide related booklets that I am aware of. Should you know of other booklets with Scout/Guide stamps, please send an e-mail to hallvard@slettebo.no. Not only Scout stamps can be found in booklets, but also labels. These fall outside the scope of this list (but two booklets with seals issued in France, 1947 are included for good measure.)
Some unofficial (bogus) issues are also recorded. I consider these non-collectible and have chosen not to include these here: |
