Hello Scout Stamp Collectors+ACE-

It has been over three weeks since our last note, and we have continued to
work on providing more information for our visitors to the SOSSI website
http://www.sossi.org .

The annual Jamboree on the Air and Jamboree on the Internet is now less than
two months away.  Find out more about these exciting programs and their
connections to stamp collectors in our special JOTA article.
http://www.sossi.org/jota.htm

Our Resources page has been updated again, with several top stamp
collecting sites added. Have you visited yet Chuck Hendricksen's Philatelic
World
or Francis Chan's Stamps Resources?  http://www.sossi.org/resources.htm

Our Maple Leaf SOSSI Chapter has developed their activity schedule for this
fall and winter.  Find out what they and other Scout Stamp Clubs online are
planning at http://www.sossi.org/society.htm

SOSSI member Ken Wiltz sends +ACI-I have just received my first issue of El
Explorador Filatelico from Madrid Spain. Are you aware of it?  The back page
has a calendar of exhibitions world wide, it is a full page, even showing
some as far into the future as
2006. The latest issue had 36 pages.+ACI- This is the journal of the CLUB
FILATELICO DE SCOUTS Y GUIAS. Visit them online from the SOSSI site.

SOSSI member Bruce McCrea sends this information on USPS Celebrate the
Century+ISI- special offers.  +ACI-Uncut press sheets of the 1910 Celebrate the
Century pane are available.  This is item number 553884 available from the
US Postal Service. For +ACQ-19.20 each plus +ACQ-1 postage and handling, you can
order uncut press sheets containing four panes of the 1910s Celebrate the
Century stamps.  I
have received the five uncut press sheets that I ordered and I think that
many collectors will want to have them.+ACI-

I called myself and found out that the USPS also has CTC FDC  for sale.  The
1910 CTC issue with Scouting is item 553862 and costs +ACQ- 6.80 plus  +ACQ-1
postage and handling.  Mine arrived in the mail just today.  The full
cancelled pane was attached to a white envelope just larger than the sheet.

To order these or other items from the USPS, call 1-800-STAMP24 or
1-800-782-6724.  Mail orders to the United States Postal Service, Stamp
Fulfillment Services, Kansas City, MO 64144-0001.

Bruce McCrea also sent this to us.  +ACI-On another topic, take a look at
http://www.jamneiges.org/  Do you think the design that is featured very
prominently on that site is a proposed Canadian Scout stamp design or simply
a Scout seal?+ACI-  Visit the site and tell us and Bruce at
Bruce+AF8-Mccrea+AEA-lansing.cc.mi.us what you think.

For those who visited the 19th Asia-Pacific Regional Scout Conference
website hosted by the Hong Kong Scout Association also would have seen a
seal for the event. http://www.scout.org.hk/html/19th-apr.html

Have you ordered your First Day Cover (FDC) of the Scouting stamp from the
1910 decade of the United States Celebrate the Century+ISI- stamp series which
bears the Official Boy Scouts of America (BSA) +ACI-silk+ACI- cachet. Don't wait
until it is too late.  http://www.sossi.org/sales.htm This FDC is sold and
distributed by Scouts on Stamps Society International, Inc. (SOSSI).  FDCs
may be obtained at +ACQ-5.00 each (postpaid) from the SOSSI Sale Manager, 1057
Grand Boulevard, Westbury, NY 11590.
