Lewes
East Sussex, England

Operated by 1st Lewes Scouts, serving Lewes and Kingston.

1st Lewes Scouts are part of the Lewes District within the Scout County of East Sussex.


According to Gus Annand's 1981-90 catalogue only blue was used in the earlier years, later on any two were used in each year.


All the following years refer to the first time a particular cancellation/colour combination has been brought to my attention - many were re-used on several later occasions. Further information would be welcomed.
