Scout and Guide Stamps Club BULLETIN #325 Scout and Guide Stamps Club BULLETIN Volume 56 No. 5 (Whole No. 325) See some more of Peter Shore’s memories on page 8 inside. SEPTEMBER / OCTOBER 2012 1 Editorial Following my last article on the subject of electronic publishing I have again received several letters with the general content being would I be able to put some values to the various options. I have tried to do this in another article on page 9 of this issue. Since the August / September issue of the Bulletin my wife and I have been on a cruise around the Eastern Mediterranean and the Black Sea. Whilst we have cruised in the Med. Before, the thoughts of the Black Sea, with travel through the Bosphorus, including a visit to Ephesus and to Istanbul were very attractive. My personal favourite came when we docked in Yalta and, ignoring the modern links, travelled to Sebastopol and Balaclava enabling me to stand within 300 ft of the hilltop site where Lord Raglan gave the instructions for the “Charge of the Light Brigade”. It seem almost surreal to stand there on a site that I had read about since about the age of 14 and picture the battle taking place in the valley below. There’s a wonderful diorama to see illustrating the siege of Sebastopol which brings home really well the conditions that all the men fought in and how brave they all must have been. And so to the Bulletin itself and I hope that you like the variety in this issue. To be honest I have now run out of my reserve stock of larger articles and have even used up almost all of my shorter “filler” articles - so it is time to bring out the begging bowl again and ask that some of you put pen to paper, fingers to keyboards - or whatever - and let me have something that will be of interest to your fellow members. The variety of this issue illustrates that almost anything with some stamp link can and will be included. Finally, some of you have asked for an update on my Gang Show problems but all I can say at this moment is that the no over 25s rule has been enforced by the new DC, but with the proviso that some can be used if we are short of our target 110 cast members. At present we have only 56 under 25s interested - I wonder why! I will keep you posted. Terry Simister FUTURE COPY DATES November 11th, January 13th, March 17th, May 7th and July 14th FUTURE MEETINGS As we have not been able to find a suitable alternative meeting site following the loss of The Royal Horticultural Hall, the meeting planned for 3rd November has been cancelled. Your Committee will still be meeting on that day and will be discussing plans for 2013 which hopefully will be included within the November/December Bulletin 2 Chairman’s Notes by Melvyn Gallagher With the excitement of the London Olympics behind us I await to see what exploitative stamps have been issued including scouts in their designs! "Euroscout 2012" in Bavaria may not see Olympic size crowds but no doubt will be well attended, the visitors including our Club's President and other club members and we will give a full report in the next bulletin. Our webmaster has been very busy bringing our website up to date with articles from previous bulletins which can be accessed by members using the new password xxxxxx and on behalf of the Club I thank Randall Frank for taking on this mammoth task Following the recent correspondence regarding producing the bulletin on line for those that prefer receiving it this way, members will have an opportunity to make a choice by replying to an article by our editor to be included in the next bulletin. We realise of course that there are some members who may not have or use a computer and a printed copy will be sent out to them as usual. Those of you who decide to receive an electronic version will be helping the club to save money from postage and distribution costs which of course also helps us keep the current subscription rates at the same level for as long as possible. ******************************************************************* Current Membership Rates which are due from 1st April, each year (unless you are already part way through a five years membership).

Nearly thirty thousand lots were offered for sale over five days and this sale included many collections and single Scout items. An unused 1920 Siam/Thailand printed postcard with the 3stg green stamp with the Wild Tiger handstamp overprint in black (Type I) with an estimate of Euro 200 made Euro 1450 (about £1200, US$ 1860). A number of very large lots, which I understand were from the estate of the late Barry Mann from the USA, had various descriptions including Lot 20409A – “A Massive worldwide Scouting Cinderella and Badges, an assortment of many thousands of items, comprising extremely diverse advertising labels and seals, including many blocks and complete sheets, 1960s-1980s jamboree badges, merit badges, and pins etc., which made the estimate price of Euro 5000. Another lot (20417) in 47 large boxes on two pallets was described as “Tremendous unpicked accumulation of Worldwide Scouting Covers having thousands of United States and foreign scouting covers (1930s-2010), the vast Majority postmarked from the 1950s onward, all loosely packed in boxes, and arranged to cover albums, stock books, and file boxes replete with addressed and unaddressed cacheted FDCs, Scout Show, Scout Stamp, SOSSI, Boy Scout Post, and Baden Powell and Scouting Anniversary covers, franked and postmarked Jamboree bulletins and programs, postal cards, and picture postcards, a fabulously diverse accumulation of covers that took decades to assemble,” Estimated at €15000, it remained unsold. In the sale offered as one lot was the Gold Medal Scout collection of Albrecht Zimmermann from Germany which included many of the best Scout classics and described as “Development and Work of Scouting” on 149 pages with an abundance of good material in the form of letters, stamps, including Mafeking, 1920 Siam Tiger head imprints on postcards, Warsaw Uprising Scout Post many with certificates, letters and postcards, handwritten text by Baden-Powell for telegram to George VI and greeting telegram from George VI to Baden-Powell, to an abundance of stamp issues also with proofs and many other features” 4 THE HUNGARIAN SCOUT ASSOCIATION IS 100 YEARS OLD Scouting is the subject of the For Youth 2012 miniature sheet with a surcharge Magyar Posta is issuing a commemorative miniature sheet with a surcharge in honour of the centenary of the foundation of the Hungarian Scout Association. The stamp designs of the miniature sheet are graphic compositions related to scouting, the world jamboree, leadership training, the scout salute and the scout symbol. The designs of the miniature sheet are by the graphic artist Edit Szalma based on the works of Lajos Márton, and fifty thousand copies were made by the state printing company Állami Nyomda. Magyar Posta devotes the proceeds from the surcharge – HUF 100 for each miniature sheet, which may not be used to pay for postage – to supporting youth stamp collecting. The first scout camp began on 1 August 1907 on Brownsea Island in the south of England. The movement, founded by Robert Baden-Powell in 1907, appeared in Hungary in 1910. The Hungarian Scout Association was established on 28 December 1912. Hungary was a founder member of the International Scout Bureau (today WOSM) as well as the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts, which was established in Parád in 1928. Hungarian scouts first took part in a world jamboree in Copenhagen in 1924, where they came third in the competition behind the British and the Americans. In 1926 the first Hungarian national jamboree was organised, which was attended by 10,000 people. In 1927 the Association set up a centre for the highest scout training among other activities at Hárshegy. By then the Association also owned a central national building, a sea scout centre on the Danube and a national network of scout shops. In 1933 Hungary organised the 4th World Scout Jamboree in tKHSDUNRIWKHUR\DOSDODFHLQ*|G|OOĘZKHUH 26,000 scouts from 46 countries took part. Between 1948 and 1989 the movement was banned by the government in Hungary, and Hungarian scouting continued 5 either illegally or in emigration. After the change of political system, on 11 February 1989 the Hungarian Scout Association was the very first social organisation to be registered at the Metropolitan Court of Budapest. At present the Hungarian Scout Association has 10 scout districts. Each district is divided into areas, which operate their own scout groups. Irrespective of geographical area, there are specialised branches of the scout movement, such as the sea scouts and the air scouts, where scouts can learn about their particular interest.

  • A Cartographic Depiction and Exploration of the Boy Scouts of America’S Historical Membership Patterns
    A Cartographic Depiction and Exploration of the Boy Scouts of America’s Historical Membership Patterns BY Matthew Finn Hubbard Submitted to the graduate degree program in Geography and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts. ____________________________ Chairperson Dr. Stephen Egbert ____________________________ Dr. Terry Slocum ____________________________ Dr. Xingong Li Date Defended: 11/22/2016 The Thesis committee for Matthew Finn Hubbard Certifies that this is the approved version of the following thesis: A Cartographic Depiction and Exploration of the Boy Scouts of America’s Historical Membership Patterns ____________________________ Chairperson Dr. Stephen Egbert Date approved: (12/07/2016) ii Abstract The purpose of this thesis is to examine the historical membership patterns of the Boy Scouts of America (BSA) on a regional and council scale. Using Annual Report data, maps were created to show membership patterns within the BSA’s 12 regions, and over 300 councils when available. The examination of maps reveals the membership impacts of internal and external policy changes upon the Boy Scouts of America. The maps also show how American cultural shifts have impacted the BSA. After reviewing this thesis, the reader should have a greater understanding of the creation, growth, dispersion, and eventual decline in membership of the Boy Scouts of America. Due to the popularity of the organization, and its long history, the reader may also glean some information about American culture in the 20th century as viewed through the lens of the BSA’s rise and fall in popularity. iii Table of Contents Author’s Preface ................................................................................................................pg.
