This 1957 stamp from Qatar is a British commemorative issue overprinted with the value of 15 Naye Paise to mark the 50th Anniversary of Scouting and the 9th World Scout Jamboree. The design features a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II alongside the Scout fleur-de-lis emblem, both linked by a knotted rope symbolizing the enduring connection between the British Monarchy and the global movement. At the time of issuance, Qatar used these overprinted British stamps as it was under British postal administration, making this a unique piece of both postal and Scouting history.
