The display starts with the FIP large gold exhibit “World Scouting” which currently is the highest merited exhibit within the ever popular theme of Boy Scouts and Girl Guides. The exhibit presents the idea, principles and activities of Scouting and its development from Baden-Powell’s Scheme into today’s world wide movement. It is followed by “Scout Mail in DP Camps”, “Scouting UK” (since we are here!) , “Scouting Norway” (since the presenter is Norwegian) and a general section “Scouting around the World”. Focus is on presenting Scout related postal history for the period up to 1957 which marks the Golden jubilee of Scouting and the centenary of the birth of Lord Baden-Powell.
