This topic is local Scout/Girl Guide Posts. Most often found in the UK and other countries at Christmas to help the Postal Service and as part of the Scouting tradition. I do not collect these especially but have some labels and a very few covers. My knowledge of the posts is limited and I am awaiting a Catalogue of British Scout Posts. If anyone has any Labels, sheets or covers/cards then do post them here. Here's a few British labels to start us off:       I got a small batch of these a long time ago, all on piece and probably from Christmas card sendings. I have some duplicates if anyone is interested. I did not soak any off because the quality, as one would expect, is poor both in printing and paper although some of the designs I have seen online are quite good.

Did you soak your labels off OK without any trouble ?
Just curious before I attempt it.
I will check what dupes I have for you.

No didn't soak any off myself, any I have got on paper have been trimmed close (carefully) and then mounted, saying that someone must have soaked the others off that I have.
Edit. Actually I have soaked some Sheffield Scout stamps off without any trouble, had forgotten about that.
