The 3 baht stamp takes inspiration from the new corporate identity of the World Organization of the Scout Movement (WOSM) and shows images of Scouts from the six Regions of WOSM.  The 12 baht stamp illustrates the camp site of the 20th World Scout Jamboree 2003 located on a beautiful beach at Sattahip district, Chon Buri province.  Thailand will also produce First Day Covers, postcards and telephone cards in connection with the World Jamboree.
