Tenth Edition First Printing SOSSI Website Version 2000 PREFACE
This year marks a new milestone in our operations. We have changed our name to 'scoutstamps.com' to join the multitude in e- commerce enterprises and to be more in line with what we are doing. We have instituted a new issue service and we are creating a new web site.
For those that are interested in comparisons against when a country issued a stamp, whether or not they are a member of the UPU, and whether or not they have a National Scouting Organization, we have continued to use a comparison chart that depicts these issues. This chart follows this preface.
We use all philatelic publications available with Scott information first except for issue dates in which we used the FDCs. We have tried to provide a catalogue number to all issues. Issues reported by Scott through March, 2000 are noted.
A few notes on the content of the publication. This is the North American version wherein Scott catalogue numbers are used. Included are all sheet sizes known as of the date of this supplement, 2000. Postal stationery is included if it has engraved (indicia) postage. Therefore, Post Cards are not listed, but all Postal Cards are. Errors and varieties are not incorporated as there are over 1000 known to date, and they are listed and described in a companion publication. This includes inverted watermarks and overprints, etc.
We welcome opinions and corrections from any reader. We are only trying to provide the most comprehensive worldwide listing of Scouts on Stamps ever issued. There are listings that have never been reported in any other publication.
At the end of the main listing, there are five Addendums. They comprise listings for Postal Stationery, Brigades, Locals, Cinderellas, and Pioneer issues. There are also many fakes issued over the years and such information is best left for other publications as it's descriptive content would not lend itself to this kind of listing. We are no longer listing phone cards as we do not feel that these are philatelic items. If you are interested in a listing of phone cards of the world, you can obtain a checklist from: Ken Colgrave via e-mail at: [email protected].
And finally, if you are interested in related issues that contain errors or varieties, please write for more information to obtain the publication 'Errors and Varieties' on Scouts on Stamps. This publication lists the stamp issue, with all known international catalogue numbers, and
Page 1 of 9 2000 PREFACE provides a description for the reason it is unusual and not the normal printing.
Additionally, this style of listing has also been created for collectors interested in St. George on stamps (the Patron Saint of Scouting). If you are interested in this publication, please write for information or ask your St. George on Stamps dealer.

Definitions
For the listed catalogue numbers, Scott is used. Remember C = Airmail; B = Semi Post; RA = Postal Tax; CO = Air Post Officials; and CB = Air Post Semi-Officials. Others are as follows;
SG Stanley Gibbons; SB for Booklets Mi Michel M Minkus Z Zumstein HAG Higgins and Gage
'1v' means that there is one value in the issue or set. No catalogue number is available at this printing.
Sheets with a quantity of 25 or less are denoted as sheetlets. Many of these will fit on to an 8.5 x 11" album or stock page.
Sheets notations that only have a blank have an unknown quantity at this time. Hopefully in the future we can fill in these blanks.
Cinderella - A Cinderella stamp(s) is probably one best handled by exclusion than by inclusion. If you exclude government-issued postage stamps and stationery, then what is left usually qualifies as Cinderella material. The newcomer to philately would probably do best to regard as Cinderella material that which is not listed in the general catalogs, although it should be noted that some of the more specialized catalogs do include such Cinderella material as revenues, post office seals, etc.
This is not to imply that material not included in general catalogs is not collectible—far from it. But it is something that should be collected on the basis of knowledge. The fields of Cinderella philately are broad indeed, and there are some dark corners that can trap the unwary into obtaining material that is not what it is represented to be. As in all areas of philately, knowledge is the key. When collected with knowledge, Cinderella material can offer a great deal of pleasure.
Also included would be labels in stamp-like form bearing the names of imaginary or existing countries, or postal services, and intended to fool collectors into believing them to be genuine postage or revenue stamps.

Local Issues - Two definitions are necessary here – one between simply "Local Stamps" which are defined as privately produced to frank mail carried by the individual or organization issuing the stamps to the nearest government post office. They are not valid for any purpose, and when so franked they are deposited at a government PO, where official postage stamps must be applied. In more recent years there has been something of a flood of private local stamps that serve no real postal purpose and are created more to gain publicity and for sale to collectors than for postal use.
As for a "Local Postage Stamp" they are defined as – official government issues that have a restricted validity. They are not valid outside the area or service for which they are issued, nor can they be used in the international mails. They should not be confused with local stamps which are privately produced.
Commemoratives - Stamp(s) issued to commemorate an anniversary or special event.
Definitive - Stamp(s) issued that are used to pay basic postal rates, and may be issued more than once.
Perforations - The amount of punched holes within 20 millimeters determines the perforation number. If horizontal and vertical numbers differ, the horizontal number is given first.
Imperforated - A stamp issued without perforations.
Un-gummed - Stamp(s) issued without gum on the back.
Gutter Pairs - Two identical stamps separated by a label (gutter) that may or may not have a design.
Tete-Beche - A pair of joined stamps in which one is upside down in relation to the other.
Se-Tenant - Joined (an unsevered pair) strip or block of stamps differing in design, denomination, or overprint. Can be vertical or horizontal.
Triptych - Two different stamps separated by a label (gutter) that may or may not have a design.
Page 6 of 9 2000 PREFACE
Coils - Stamps that are issued in rolls for the use in dispensers and vending machines. Some of the stamps may be perforated on all sides, others may be imperforated only horizontally.
Presentation Pack - The set of issued stamps contained in an informational packet.
FD/FDC - First Day/First Day Cover (envelope); stamp/cover issued on the official first day of issue. The cover may or may not have a cachet.
Cachet - A design on the envelope usually to commemorate the issue.
First Day Sheets - An informational sheet prepared and distributed by the Postal Authorities of the issuing country. May or may not have a FD Cancel.
First Day Cards - An informational card prepared and distributed by the Postal Authorities of the issuing country. May or may not have a FD Cancel.

Postal Card - A post card with the indicia Scout related.

Page 7 of 9 2000 PREFACE
Booklet - A set of stamps put together with a cover (that may have advertising). The stamps may be from a sheet (a horizontal row with staples on the margin) or printed especially for the booklet (usually found with the top and/or bottom imperforated). These booklets are prepared for the convenience of the user.
Year pack - A collection of unmounted stamps issued for the year in a presentation folder.
Watermark - A translucent design impressed on paper during manufacture and visible when the finished paper is held to the light or found by a watermark detector.

Overprint - A wording or design placed on the stamp to alter the place of use, or to adapt them for a special purpose, or for a special occasion. Overprints are always black unless noted otherwise.
Surcharge - An overprint which revises or restates the face value of the stamp. Surcharges are always black unless noted otherwise.
Self Adhesive - Stamps printed with peel-away backing paper.
Specimens - Samples of a forthcoming issue sent to members of the UPU, or government officials. Many are overprinted 'SPECIMEN' (or 'MUESTRA') and others are marked with bars across the denominations, or punched holes, or black inscriptions. These markings prevent postal use.
Proof - Impressions taken from an approved die, plate, or stone in which the design and colors prepared for approval before the stamp is issued to the public.
Essay - Impression of a design that differs in some way from the stamp as issued.
Bromide - a photograph, usually of the artwork, reduced to the actual size of the stamp using bromide paper because of its sensitivity.

Page 8 of 9 2000 PREFACE
Progressive Proofs - Impressions taken from an approved die, plate, or stone in which colors are different on each of the stamps in the strip. The strip can be as long as 32 stamps.

Annules - A copy of the issued Souvenir Sheet, with a perfin of 'ANNULE', affixed to the outside of the brick (bundle) of stamps sent to a dealer from on agent. Usually comes from European agents and found on shipments of a quantity of more than 200.
Errors - Stamps that have some major, consistent unintentional deviation from the normal. Examples are missing or wrong colors, wrong paper, wrong watermarks, inverted centers or frames on multicolored printing, inverted or missing surcharges or overprints, double impressions, missing perforations, etc.
Expertizing - Having the stamp or stamps examined by a professional philatelist who specializes in this kind of work. It is recommended that all stamps exceeding a value of US$ 100.00 be expertised before purchase.
Observations
When collecting stamps, and during conversations with agents and dealers, the condition of the stamp is directly related to many factors, including, but not necessarily limited to, the following terminology as noted by Scott Publishing Company;
Never Hinged - Full original gum with no hinge mark or other blemish or disturbance. Also referred to as 'Mint'.
Lightly Hinged - Full original gum with a light disturbance of the gum from the removing of a peelable hinge.
Original Gum - Hinging and other disturbances that affect 20 percent or less of the original gum
Part Gum - Between 20 and 80 percent of the original gum remaining on the stamp.
Regummed - A stamp considered the same as the original stamp with none of its original gum for purposes of grading.

Observations: · Scouting was founded on August 1, 1907 with the opening of Lord Baden-Powell's experimental camp on Brownsea Island in England. · Founded in 1875, the Universal Postal Union (UPU) is a representative body with the goal to unite the world and facilitate international mail delivery. · The date for the World Organization of the Scout Movement (WOSM) is the most recent year that the National Scout Organization joined, which was founded In 1922.
WOSM Notes: 1. There are 26 main territories where Scouting exists, often as branches of member Scout organizations. 2. There are 39 countries where Scouting exists but where there is no National Scout Organization, but are members of the World Organization of the Scout Movement. 3. There are six countries where Scouting does not exist and in some it would not be allowed; as follows, Andorra, China, Cuba, North Korea, Laos, and Myanmar.
Editor's Observations: · It is interesting to note that there are issues from countries before they joined the UPU and in other examples, Scout issues before they had or have a national Scout Organization.

Observation: A note about First Day covers...... From the American Philatelist; "no cachet FDCs are prepared in Kabul. The only authentic FDCs are those prepared by collectors residing in Kabul who are willing to use a part of their meager share of stamps for this purpose. These are merely on plain envelopes due to the lack of adequate printing facilities for cachets. It is generally believed that the philatelic agent in New York has been able to get a canceling device, officially or not, for the purpose of editing FDCs which, therefore, have no value."

FYI, there was an overprint during the World Colombian Stamp Expo '92 which contains the words 'Anniversary of Scouting' along with the World Scout Emblem and the logo from the Canadian Jamboree. This S/S was originally printed by Correios e Telecommunicacoes de Portugal. The S/S depicts replicas of older Azores stamps, #3 and #6. There have been no stamps issued from the Azores since 1931. Therefore, this is a Cinderella and located in that Addendum.

A bit of history...... During WWII Bulgaria was in an union together with Germany, Japan, and Italy. The Bulgarian King Boris III had a German origin and Bulgaria always had a pro-German political orientation. So, the German occupation of Macedonia was actually a Bulgarian occupation of Macedonia. Bulgaria had to receive Macedonia (then part of Yugoslavia) after the end of the war. The occupation was made by Bulgarian forces. These stamps were produced by using Bulgarian stamps overprinted in Bulgarian language meaning "Macedonia 8. Sept. 1944". On September 9, 1944, Russian forces rushed in Bulgaria and the German army began to retreat. The total print of the issue was shared among high officers of Bulgarian army and the German army.
