Briefly, what about the stamps themselves?
The first stamps considered to be Scout Stamps were issued in 1900 from the Cape of Good Hope. [Find out more about the “classics”] The three stamps pictured Baden-Powell,the founder, and a boy messenger on a bicycle. The first stamps issued after Scouting actually started in 1907 were a pair from Czechoslovakia in 1918. The first stamp to actually picture a Scout was issued by Hungary in 1925. It was part of a set of sports stamps.
