PHILATELIC NEWS
Boy Scout
jubilee Is
Observed
BY BELMONT FAIRIES

February new issues indi-
cate that 1857 will be a big
year for Boy Scout stamps.
At least eight nations have
scheduled or already issued
stamps for world Scouting's
double anniversary-its own
50th birthday and the cente-
nary of the birth of its
founder, Lord Baden Powell.
Others can be expected to
follow.
Korea, Finland, Cuba, the
Netherlands Antilles and Iran
already have issued their
stamps, the latter three pic
turing Lord Baden Powell, who
took 20 boys on the first scout
encampment at Brownsea
Island, England, in 1907. Issues
also have been announced by
Brazil and Nicaragua. A
Philippines stamp honors the
Girl Scouts, since a Pacific
area camp was held in Quezon
City.
Big celebration of the year
will be the World Jubilee jam
boree at Sutton Coldfield,
England, August l-l2. For this
the British postal authorities
have promised three stamps,
the first commemorative ever
to be issued by Great Britain
for a non-governmental event.
Designs have not been an
nounced, but if they picture
Baden Powell it will be the
first time anyone other than
a member of the royal family
has appeared on British
stamp.
Baden Powell himself once
upset royalty by having his
picture on a Cape of Good
Hope local produced during the
siege Of Mafeking in the Boer
War. Queen Victoria, who had
very definite views on her royal
prerogatives, was not amused.
