The Cyprus Scouts Association (C.S.A.) was founded  in 1913 and is a member of the World Scout Movement Organisation.

Since its establishment, the C.S.A. - through its Scout training - has provided its members with the necessary skills for life, teaching them their duty towards God and their Country and love for others. As a result, all those who wore and continue to wear the Scout uniform, are active participants in and contributors to society. Many of our heroes were Scouts and sealed with their lives the Promise that they had made  when  becoming members of the Scout movement.

It is estimated that more than 100.000 youngsters in Cyprus have been Scouts during these 100 years, and today the C.S.A. has around 6.000 members, with 54  active Scout Groups.

NORTH CYPRUS STAMPS - 6 March 2024

a) 60th Anniversary of Cyprus Turkish Post Office (KIBRIS TÜRK POSTALARININ 60 YILI).

On 16 August 1960 the Turkish Cypriot Community, one of the two partners in the Republic of Cyprus was attacked by the other partner, the Greek Cypriots - whose political goal was to achieve Enosis. The Turkish Cypriots were forced to abandon their homes and were banned from economic activities with some losing their lives.
Under these extraordinary circumstances, their fundamental human right to freedome of communication was also taken away from them. The Turkish Cypriot Administration established the Post Office on 6 January 1964, as its first act and initially used the crescent and star postmarks. The Post Office is the first official institution of a self-governing administration, a symbol of their presence of the island of Cyprus.
This stamp, issued on 6 March 2024 has been prepared for the anniversary of this important event.

---------------

The establishment of the Turkish Cypriot Post Office begins with the fixed date postmarks bearing the crescent and star motif dated 6.1.64. Initially, two postmarks were made for Nicosia and one each for Famagusta, Larnaka, Limassol, Pafos and Lefke, and sent to the centers.
To date, no fixed date crescent and star postmark belonging to Lefke has been found. It was shortly discovered that the word "TÜRK" on the postmark sent to Limassol was mistakenly typeset as TOÜRK. (This postmark can be seen in the image on the First Day Cover.) A new one was made and put into use. It's estimated this postmark was used for approximately two weeks.

Name of Artist: Görel Korol Sönmezer

Available on Cyprus Stamps website: as a single stamp (MINT or CTO/USED), Official FDC and Full Sheets of 4 stamps MINT condition (or CTO/USED subject to availability).
