| | Philately of the Fourth World Boy Scout Jamboree (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24) |
 | | At least some of the mail, both leaving and arriving at the Jamboree, although obviously not all of it, was handled by this circuitous and indirect method, for which there was a surcharge of 20 fillérs for letters and 10 fillérs for postcards. |
 | | The Air Scouts themselves, in line with the European craze at the time, spent most of their time flying in some 16 gliders or sail planes, presumably when they were noot helping to hand-stamp outgoing and incoming letters and postal cards with one of the variety of special air mail cachets. |
 | | The prime differences between these Type II cachets used for air mail sent to and from the Jamboree were that, for incoming mail, the airplane and stag faced left and the cachet appeared in yellow, while for the outgoing mail, the airplane and stag faced right and green ink was used. |
