Additional information

World Scouting's centenary in 2007 marked a century from Baden-Powell's experimental camp on Brownsea Island in 1907, and Turkey had been an active member of the World Organization of the Scout Movement since 1947 — a postwar reintegration into international civic institutions following years of wartime isolation. Turkey's commemorative program in the 2000s was notably prolific, and this issue sits among dozens of silver pieces the Darphane produced for the international collector market during that decade rather than domestic circulation.
