GIrlOUldes ofcanada Guides ducanada SCOUTS CANADA Celebrates the Scouts and Guides

This exhibit illustrates many of the slogan machine cancels and hand stamps used by Canada Post to honour the Boy Scouts and in Canada. It includes some of the auxiliary markings such as registration and other miscellaneous markings that occurred to these covers. These cancellations were typically used in one city or very few cities The machine cancels include the <"Brotherhood" and "Fratemite" series of cancellations used in the 1960's and early 1970's. These were used to honour Baden Powell's birthday of February 22. who was the Founder of . These slogans were used in up to 18 cities across Canada but only selected ones of each year wi ll be shown in this exhibit. This evolved into what is now known as /Guide Week or Guide /Scoul Week in alternating years - the week starting and ending on a Sunday with Feb. 22 in it. There are no known spray cancellations honouring Scouting or Guiding in Canada. The earliest known date (EKD) and latest known date (LKD) of usage is indicated where appropriate. For multiple cities usage, the dates shown are for the slogan as a whole and not a particular city. Some of the hand cancels such as the 1974 Quebec do not have changeable dates, but just show a period of usage such as Aug. 17 to Aug. 24. Typically all cancels were used for less than a month. Significant items are higWighted by a red box.

The exhibit is arranged in a rough chronological order as follows: • The Early Years 1937-1955 - includes the Apple Day slogans and the first World Jam­ boree held in North America. Pages 2 - 5 • The Brotherhood Period J956-1971 - a large number of cities used the Brotherhood slogans plus many other Scout and Guide slogans. Pages 6 - 33 • The Later Machine Cancels - various Provincial and Guide camps plus Polish Scouting and Girl Guide cookies. Pages 34 - 40 • 1983 World Jamboree - includes rare trial strikes and related events. Pages 41 - 45 • The Hand Cancels J974 - present - includes Jamborees, Guide camps, Beaver sleep­ overs, conferences, SaSSI and the 100th anniversary of Scouting. Pages 46 - 80
