History
Kuwait issued two commemorative stamps on 21 December 1966 for the thirtieth anniversary of the Scout Movement in Kuwait, founded in 1936. Both values share one design: a Scout fleur-de-lis bearing the national dhow emblem at its centre, framed by a rope border tied in a reef knot at the foot, with bilingual legends reading «Scout Movement in Kuwait 1936–1966». The 4 fils is printed in olive-green and brown; the 20 fils in ochre with a blue-grey fleur-de-lis.
Joh. Enschedé & Sons printed the set by lithography, perforated 14 × 13, in panes of 50. One hundred thousand copies of each value were produced.
