Jamaica – 1st Caribbean Jamboree

Under Review

Description: Jamaican commemorative stamp for the 1st Caribbean Scout Jamboree of 1952, with King George VI in an oval portrait and a large Scout fleur-de-lis set over a map of Jamaica. A globe and tropical fruits complete the composition, linking the island to the wider movement and to its own local identity.

Circa: Issued 1952

Condition: MNH

Notes:

Issued for the Jamboree held at Briggs Park, Kingston. It is one of the final Jamaican Scout-related issues to appear under George VI and reflects the growing Caribbean dimension of post-war Scouting.
