Czech RepublicStamp Booklets related to Boy Scouts and Girl Guides / Girl Scouts |
  A private booklet commemorates the international Scout meeting (or was it a camp?) "Fénix" 1997 which was held in Prague, and was attended mainly by Scouts and Guides from Central and Eastern Europe. The symbol is the bird Phoenix. The phoenix was an Egyptian bird that died and was reborn. Two colours for the printed cover are seen. Each booklet contains five stamps depicting a bird painted by Alfons Mucha. Can anyone supply information about who issued the booklets, numbers printed, etc.?    Booklet issued 2007: Jaroslav Foglar was an important Czech Scout Leader (He was the Scout Leader of the Second Group of Prague for 60 years). Scouting is mentioned on the reverse of the booklet (can anyone provide a translation of this text, please?). Read more about Foglar here and here. Jaroslav Foglar is also commemorated on a Scout postmark. |
