Very rare commemorative ceramic wall plate produced for the 11th World Scout Jamboree, held in Marathon, Greece, in 1963.
This beautiful vintage ceramic wall plate commemorates the 11th World Scout Jamboree, one of the most important international Scouting events ever held. The Jamboree took place in Marathon, Greece, from August 1–11, 1963, welcoming approximately 14,000 Scouts from 89 countries and territories under the theme “Scout Higher and Wider.”
The location was especially meaningful, as Marathon is world-famous for the historic Battle of Marathon and symbolizes courage, endurance, and international friendship.
The front of the plate features a striking raised relief of an ancient Greek warrior holding a shield decorated with the official World Scout Fleur-de-lis emblem. Surrounding the design are the original inscriptions:
• 11th World Jamboree Mondial
• Marathon
• ΕΛΛΑΣ (Greece)
• 1963
The detailed relief, classical Greek artwork, and official World Scout symbolism make this an exceptional souvenir from one of the most celebrated World Scout Jamborees in history.
Perfect for collectors of:
• World Scout Jamboree memorabilia
• Boy Scout collectibles
• International Scouting history
• Greek historical souvenirs
• Vintage commemorative ceramics
• World travel memorabilia
This vintage plate displays beautifully on a wall or stand and is an increasingly difficult piece to locate, making it an excellent addition to any serious Scout or historical memorabilia collection.
