History
Barbuda issued three commemoratives on 7 August 1969 for the 3rd Caribbean Scout Jamboree at Georgetown, Guyana. Each stamp is inscribed BARBUDA and 3rd Caribbean Scout Jamboree 1969, with a small profile of Queen Elizabeth II at upper right. R. Granger-Barrett designed the set. The 25 cent, labelled ENROLMENT, shows Scouts in berets at a ceremony, one holding a green flag, with a St George's Cross draped on a table. The 35 cent, labelled CAMP FIRE, shows Scouts seated around a fire. The 75 cent, labelled SEA SCOUTS, shows six Sea Scouts in a white rowing boat. Format International Security Printers lithographed the stamps in panes of 50, comb perforated 14, 43 × 29 mm. Twenty-seven thousand six hundred of each value were printed.
