53rd St Barnabas Scout Group
Since then millions of children have found friendship, adventures and ways of
doing good by joining the Scouts. There are around 28 million scouts spread
across the globe, and this year sees the centenary of the Scout Association. This
massive marker in their lifetime is one reason they’ve been chosen as the theme
for this year’s Europa stamp issue, which will be interpreted by postal
administrations across Europe. The Royal Mails contribution is six Special
Stamps that will be issued the day before the 21st World Scout Jamboree.

In looking through the British
Stamp Catalog only four

of a set of four titled Youth
Organizations out on the 24th
March 1982. This 26p stamp
shows a cub scout making the
scout Salute and a scout pulling
up the flag. It is surprising for a
country in which the Scout
Movement was founded to have
so few Scouting Stamps.

There are many Scouting Stamps from around the world. One of the aims of this
page is to give the opportunity for Cubs and Scouts to learn more about Stamps
and hopefully encourage them to join the 53rd Stamp Collecting Club.
The Stamp Collecting Club will start in April and May showing members how to
care for and collect stamps. Over three months the Club will meet three times
while collectors have time to find stamps to add to their collections. After the three
months collectors will have to opportunity to swap with other collectors
completing sets. Hopefully those who take part will complete the Collectors
Badge and also keep on collecting so that the Club can will have more members
next year.

Where do you get stamps?
To start a collection you need stamps. You
need to let everyone know you are starting

either at work or home. Grandparents and
even friends overseas can help you
especially at Christmas with all the cards
being posted around. You can also buy world
mixed stamps online from sites such as
Ebay ( thats if your Parents use these sites ).
