Notes
Boy Scouts of Korea fleur-de-lis (XLV B.S.K.), stylised bridge and tents
Series history
South Korea issued two commemoratives at Seoul on 10 August 1967 for the 3rd National Jamboree, together with matching imperforate souvenir sheets.
The 7 w, designed by Heni Han Chun, shows a Boy Scout in beret and yellow neckerchief beside the Boy Scouts of Korea fleur-de-lis with tiger motif (inscribed XLV B.S.K.) and a row of tents. The 20 w, designed by Chung Whan Oh, places the same emblem with a stylised bridge and tents. Both designs carry the date 1967. 8. 10.
The Government Printing Agency printed the issue by lithography. The stamps measure 33 × 29 mm, perforated comb 12½, in panes of fifty; print runs are given as 1,000,000 of the 7 w and 500,000 of the 20 w. Each souvenir sheet (90 × 60 mm) carries one imperforate stamp design under bilingual commemorative headings, with 80,000 of each sheet reported.
