Prestwood
Buckinghamshire, England

Operated by 1st Prestwood Scout Group. Serving Prestwood in 2004. In 2005 extended coverage by exchange with 1st Kingshill, 1st Holmer Green & 1st Great Missenden Scouts to serve Prestwood, Great Missenden, Little Kingshill, Great Kingshill and Holmer Green. Delivery numbers do not necessarily indicate sales as cards are exchanged between the various posts and those delivered could have come from any originating post, equally Prestwood stamps could have been delivered elsewhere.
