Here is one with the girl scout emblem from Iraq, issued in 1973:  It is not the most attractive stamp in the thread, but it is not a nation I would have associated with girl scouting before seeing the stamp. |

This is the very first ever scout on a stamp. WARNER GOODYEAR A Scout at Mafeking -------------------------------------------------------- The Boy on the 1d. Blue Mafeking Stamp by Dr. K. FREUND Reprinted from "The O.F.S. Philatelic magazine", August, 1957 WARNER GOODYEAR was 12 years old when the shadow of a Siege with all its hardships fell upon him, his family and the citizens of Mafeking. But he was such an efficient, courageous boy that it was not long before the great Colonel Baden-Powell the gallant Commander in charge of the invested town, recognised the excellent "Scout Leader" qualities of this youngster. Young Warner showed all the characteristics of a good "Scout"; Loyalty, Unselfishness, Enthusiasm, Inventiveness and Courage.  |

A mutilated cover, with a 1938 Aussie Jamboree, whilst only interest value, this gives a huge illustration of keeping stamps on cover. If the original owner had not cut this cover, it would be quite a valuable and important example of Scout history. At the time the owner must have thought it just mundane.  |
