(- -) Curt-Teich Souvenirs for the 1960 Jamboree. (12 cards)
This time Curt-Teich repackaged
standard Air Force Academy postcards from Colorado Springs, and also
Garden of the Gods Postcards from Colorado Springs, Colorado as
Jamboree souvenirs. Each set contains six cards. The
individual postcards have nothing to do with the Boy
Scouts or the Jamboree. The wrappers in which they came are Boy
Scout Jamboree
collectible items.
(11) Scouts of the World - Boxed set of 1964. (68 cards)
In conjunction with
the National Jamboree held in Valley Forge, Pennsylvania, the BSA
published a boxed set of sixty-eight chrome postcards. Each card depicts a Boy
Scout from a different country or territory dressed in his
official Scout uniform. All of the cards are in vertical (portrait) format.
The postcards were printed for the Boy Scouts by Dexter Press. The spine on the back of the cards carries the BSA logo and copyright notice with the 1964 date. The company name does not appear on the cards, but its numbering scheme is evident.
Although many dealers have broken up sets to sell the cards individually, neither the individual cards nor the complete boxes are very difficult to find.

(13) Scouts of the World - Boxed set of 1968. (111 cards)
At least partially due to the popularity of the previous
boxed set, the BSA updated the series in 1968. By including more
countries that had Scouting programs, they were able to expand the new
set to 111 cards in the same vertical format. Since the
cards from both series look similar from the front, it is necessary to
carefully examine the back for the copyright date when examining
individual cards. The boxes themselves are totally different.
