Series history
Guyana issued two official stamps on 7 July 1981, revaluing remainders of the 1969 3rd Caribbean Scouts Jamboree 8 cent and 6 cent designs. Bovell's Printery applied a black numeral surcharge and the letters OPS. Jennifer Toombs designed the underlying stamps; Bradbury Wilkinson lithographed them, comb perforated 13½, 42 × 28 mm, on paper watermarked with a multiple lotus blossom. They are lettered 3rd Caribbean Scouts Jamboree 1969, GUYANA and SOUTH AMERICA.
The 100 cent, on the 8 cent cooking design, shows a Scout in a beret tending a pot over a fire; OPS is rotated at the lower left. The 110 cent, on the 6 cent flag design, shows three Scouts at a flagpole; OPS sits to the right of the final 0.
