Commemorating the 75th
anniversary of the founding of the Scouting movement in
Canada, this set of six stamps features the emblems of
the Beaver, Wolf Cub, Venturer, Rover, Scout Promise, and
Scouts Canada itself. The same issue was used in 1983 to
honour Canada's hosting of the World Jamboree by means of
an overprint "JAMBOREE/1983." |
| |
The sets were issued in
sheets of 6 x 3, lithographed in four colours, and line
perforated 11.5. |
| |
3,000 of the 1982 sets
were issued, with 1000 first day covers, and 1,500 of the
overprinted sets were issued with 350 first day covers. |
