Series history
Dubai issued six commemoratives on 25 September 1967 for the 12th World Scout Jamboree held in Idaho, United States, in August 1967. G. L. Vasarhelyi designed the set; it was printed by offset at the Hungarian Printing Office in panes of twenty and perforated Comb 12. The designs are a globe linked to a Scout fleur-de-lis (10 dh), an Arab Scout with camel and tent (20 dh), a bugler before camp (35 dh), the United States flag shaped as Idaho beside the jamboree emblem (60 dh), a portrait of Robert Baden-Powell between 1857 and 1941 (1 rl), and a map of North America with Idaho marked, flanked by fleur-de-lis (1.25 rl). Some collectors question the postal necessity of the issue relative to Dubai’s ordinary mail volume.
