Women on Stamps | S for Scouts

Scouting or the Scout Movement is a worldwide educational movement that works for the integral development of the young people, that they may play constructive roles in society, with a strong focus on the outdoors and survival skills. It was founded in 1907 in England, and spread later to a large number of countries.

The stamp above was issued in 1962 to honour the 50th anniversary of the Girl Scouts of America. And, the following one, in 1987:

Scouting seems to be a very popular subject for stamps. In 2007, because of the 100th anniversary of scouting, this was the theme of the EUROPA stamps. If you feel curious, you can see here the great variety of stamps issued.

I have received more stamps, featuring girls and boys:

Czech Republic, 2007

Guernsey, 1985

USA, 1998

New Zealand, 1953
