This colorful stamp from the Malagasy Republic (now Madagascar) celebrates the Scout Movement, or Scoutisme. Issued in the 1960s, it features young scouts engaged in activities like constructing structures and carrying supplies. A prominent zebu (a traditional Malagasy cattle breed) head frames pastoral scenes with cattle, symbolizing agriculture and rural life. The upper corner includes a map of Africa with a scout emblem over Madagascar. Designed by M. Monvoisin, it promotes values of teamwork, service, and self-reliance.
