Under Review

Description: This striking commemorative stamp features a vivid blue background framing a green geographical map of the island of Barbados. Situated directly in the center of the island map is a detailed illustration of a historic stone windmill, which represents the deep-rooted agricultural and industrial heritage of the nation. To the right of the island stands the iconic golden Boy Scouts fleur-de-lis emblem accented with dark blue stars. The top text boldly reads "4th. Caribbean Jamboree," while the bottom clearly commemorates "Barbados Boy Scouts 1912 - 1972" along with its specific face value of 5 cents.

Circa: 1972

Condition: MNH

Notes:

This specific issue was released to mark both the diamond jubilee of scouting in Barbados and the gathering of international scouts at the 4th Caribbean Scout Jamboree, which was hosted locally at Combermere School in 1972.
