Stamp Sleuth Scouts Out A Scouting Stamp Collection

Looking into a topical collection of mainly Boy Scout themed stamps with a few Girl Guide issues ans some of the history behind the stamps.

Hi Stamp Sleuth, I just came across watching this Scouting Stamp Collection and Patch feature you posted. I found it both educational and informative. It gives me another topical stamp collecting topic to pursue now. I like your collection a lot. Thanks for sharing. Bob N. from Illinois.

Hi Stamp Sleuth! I like thematic collecting very much, and the extra paraphernalia with the stamps make it very interesting. Thanks for the video.

Good afternoon, great video! The topic of postage stamps and Scouts is a very interesting one.

One my earliest memory of collecting stamps as a kid was those fascinating scouts stamps. I remember having that yellow Granada stamp with the saluting scout on that first page. A very fun and popular topic for kid collectors with, as you said, many countries producing them in the 60's and 70's (not so much these days). I think those green patches you showed are merit badges that a scout earned by studying and learning about a subject (nature, first aid, survival, etc.) IIRC, there was even a scout merit badge for philately. I've always wanted to join the scouts but couldn't because of an over-protective mother.

Well, very interesting comment. I had one of those mother's too, which is why my Dad stepped in at times and gave us adventures...like stamp collecting!
