Type 1, 25x38mm, designed by the project committee. Printed in sheets of 36 (6 rows of 6 - 32 stamps with a label at each corner) self adhesive labels on an imperforate backing sheet by John Thompson, East Kilbride. This photocopy illustrates the sheet format. Some sheets were later part or fully line rouletted. 170 first day covers were produced on specially designed envelopes, some signed by the project committee. Proceeds allocated 70% group funds, 10% Save the Children Fund & the rest to cover expenses. The red shade is somewhat variable.
Type 2, 25x38mm, designed by the project committee. Printed in sheets of 36 (6 rows of 6 - 32 stamps with a label at each corner) self adhesive labels on an imperforate backing sheet by John Thompson, East Kilbride. Proceeds mainly to Group funds. First day covers were produced on specially designed envelopes, some signed by the project committee.
I am unable to show the full sheet layout for all the following designs (1984-1994) but they were arranged somewhat randomly in the sheet, 32 stamps in 7 designs meaning that there were differing numbers of some designs. See the example from 1988. When dates were later added to each stamp in the sheet these were added separately, meaning that there were noticeable variations in the positioning of the date in relation to the main design - in fact in at least one case the date was underlined, presumably by accident. The following three illustrations show examples of these minor differences.
Types 3 to 9, 25x38mm, designed by the project committee. Printed in sheets of 36 (6 rows of 6 - 32 stamps with a label at each corner) self adhesive labels on a part-perforated (separated into blocks of four) backing sheet by J. Thompson, East Kilbride. First day covers were produced on specially designed envelopes, but only two of the seven stamps were applied. 9th EK Scouts gave 10% of their profits to M S Research.

Printed in sheets of 36 (6 rows of 6 - 32 stamps with a label at each corner) self adhesive labels on a part-perforated (separated into blocks of four) backing sheet by J. Thompson, East Kilbride.

Some groups made donations to their supporting churches. While very similar to the 1985 issue these stamps had a much more matt finish.

Printed in sheets of 36 (6 rows of 6) self adhesive labels on a part-perforated (separated into blocks of four) backing sheet by Buchanan Printers (Hamilton). Only one of this year's seven stamps is actually a new issue - the undated camel design - the rest are indistinguishable from a previous year's printing (1984). Some groups made donations to their supporting churches.
