1932 US Poster Stamp Boy Scout Week 22nd Anniversary Boy Scouts of America Feb. 7–13 Artist: Harold N. Anderson Unused Stained Glue Mark 95+% Original Gum Please Note That A Stain From The Glue Mark Used Shows Somewhat On The Front (Please Note That Stain, Marks, Creases And Other Imperfections Look Much Darker Because Of The Scan. I Do Not, Ever, Alter Scans!!) This Poster Stamp Commemorates The 22nd Anniversary Of The Boy Scouts Of America And Promotes Boy Scout Week, Held February 7–13. A Boy Scout In Uniform Kneels In Thought, Holding A Book (Likely The Boy Scout Handbook), As A Translucent Portrait Of George Washington Appears In The Background Like A Guiding Spirit. The Color Palette Uses Rich Tones Of Blue, Red, And Sepia To Evoke Contemplation, Patriotism, And Duty. This Stamp Dates To 1932, Marking 22 Years Since The Boy Scouts Of America Was Founded In 1910. The Image Of George Washington—Who Was Often Invoked As A Model Of Leadership And Virtue—Aligns With The Scout Values Of Honor, Citizenship, And Service. Boy Scout Week, Celebrated Annually In February, Coincided With Scout Sunday And Often Involved Parades, Service Projects, And Public Displays Of Scouting Skills. Poster stamps like this were distributed to scouts, scoutmasters, and affiliated sponsors (banks, churches, civic clubs) to promote participation and visibility. Historical Note: 1932 Was Deep In The Great Depression—Scouting Was Viewed As A Moral And Practical Lifeline For Boys Facing Economic hardship. This image captures that solemn and aspirational tone.
