The Events Commemorated

The stamp issue celebrated two major international Scouting milestones hosted by the Slovenian Scout Association (Zveza Tabornikov Slovenije – ZTS):

1. 40th World Scout Conference (Ljubljana): The premier decision-making body of the World Organization of the Scout Movement (WOSM).
2. 12th World Scout Youth Forum (Rogla): Held from August 4–7, 2014, in the Rogla mountain resort. This forum gathered nearly 200 young delegates from over 80 countries to discuss the future of the movement before joining the main conference in the capital.

Why It’s Significant

Slovenia has been a member of WOSM since 1994, and hosting these events in 2014 was a major recognition of the country’s active Scouting community. The stamp design was intended to reflect the “scarf connection”—the global bond shared by Scouts—and the role of young people as leaders for the future.
