The Scout Movement, is a worldwide youth movement with the stated aim of supporting young people in their physical, mental and spiritual development, so that they may play constructive roles in society, Although primarily it is a youth movement, it has a place for every age group. Children at the age of 6 –11 are junior scouts, between 12–16 scouts, and up the age of 16 rovers. The Rover Scouts cater for young adults and even senior scouts can continue active participation in scout life through the International Fellowship.
Scouts operate worldwide, with the exception of 6 countries, in a total of 216 countries and their number approaches 40 million. In Hungary scout work is nationally organised by the Hungarian Scout Association. Source: www.hu.wikipedia.org

The miniature sheet has two different stamps diagonally positioned, one depicting canoeing scouts and the other a memorial stone, known as a symbol of the scout movement, made at the time of the first scout jamboree. In the frame of the miniature sheet there is a half-length portrait of the founder, Lord Robert Baden-Powell, with scouts camping and hiking in the countryside around him in the background. Both the stamp designs and the frame feature the emblem of the World Organisation of the Scout Movement. Further motifs associated with scouts decorate the cover and postmark.
