History
Grenada issued six commemoratives on 17 February 1968 for the 12th World Scout Jamboree held in Idaho in 1967. Kurt Plowitz designed the set; Heraclio Fournier printed it by photogravure in panes of forty, comb perforated 13½ × 14, in the format 30 × 50 mm. Three designs repeat at low and high values: a Scout blowing a bugle (1 c and 35 c), Scouts at a camp-site (2 c and 50 c), and a full-length portrait of Baden-Powell (3 c and 1 $). Each stamp carries a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II and the Idaho jamboree emblem.
