Printed by the rotary process and issued in sheets of 50 subjects.
This special stamp was issued in honor of the Boy Scouts of America.
The stamp is 0.84 by 1.44 inches in dimension, arranged horizontally, printed by the rotary process in brown, electric-eye perforated, and issued in sheets of 50 subjects.
Appearing prominently in the left-center portion of the stamp is a group of three boys, typifying the three age level programs of the Boy Scouts of America; namely, exploring, boy scouting and cub scouting. In the background, to the right of the boys, is a reproduction of the Statue of Liberty, symbolizing the organization's crusade to "Strengthen the Arm of Liberty." In the right-center portion appears the membership badge of the Boy Scouts of America, above this is the wording "On My Honor I Will Do My Best * * *", and below, "Boy Scouts of America" in dark Roman lettering. In a narrow shaded panel across the bottom of the stamp are the words "United States Postage" in white-faced Roman, with the denomination "3¢" enclosed in a circle in the extreme lower left corner.
The stamp was first placed on sale on June 30, 1950, at Valley Forge, Pa.
