Description: This vertically oriented commemorative postage stamp from the British Colony of Jamaica was issued to honor the First Caribbean Boy Scout Jamboree. The central vignette prominently showcases a vibrant blue and black scout fleur-de-lis emblem overlaid with a regional map of the Caribbean islands and Central America. In the upper-left corner, a finely lined portrait medallion frames King George VI early in his final year of reign, balanced by a Tudor crown to the right. The design is beautifully grounded by a bamboo framework baseline enclosing agricultural illustrations of a banana cluster and citrus fruits, flanking a bold "2d" value tablet.
Circa: Issued 1952
Condition: MLH
Notes:
Issued to commemorate the 1st Caribbean Scout Jamboree held at Briggs Park, Kingston. The design emphasizes regional identity through the Caribbean map within the Scout emblem and belongs to the last Jamaican issues released in the reign of George VI.
