SOSSI has joined with the Philatelic Webmasters Organization (PWO) and
the World Association for the Development of Philately (WADP) in the
Web League Against Illegal Stamps (WLAIS). Our
purpose is to provide Scout topical collectors the means to make an informed decision on stamp purchases. Visit
our special SOSSI Fakes & Forgeries section for more information.
All information, including assessment of the postal validity of any issue are the sole opinion of the
SOSSI Webmaster based upon review of the World Association for the Development of Philately (WADP)
Numbering System - (WNS), Universal Postal Union
(UPU) Information Bulletins, official postal
agency and dealer sales information and historic practices. It is ultimately the responsibility
of the collector to decide what to add to their collection.

Scout and Guide Charity Christmas Posts
Use of "P" or personalized stamps has become a popular way to commemorate a local Scout event or activity, but these are not official Scout issues by postal agencies or catalogued as Scout stamps.
Cinderellas are "labels that are not issued by a federal government for the purpose of paying postage." Many of these are privately printed or overprinted stamps by dealers, so they never had any postal value or use. Their production and sale is banned by the U.P.U. and member states.
