History

Togo issued seven lithographed stamps at Lomé on 23 November 1968 honouring Togolese Boy Scouts. Maxim Shamir designed the set for the Israel Government Printers. The 5 f shows a Scout with backpack before a green tent; the 10 f and 45 f show a leader with two Cub Scouts (one shading his eyes on the lower value, one saluting on the higher); the 20 f shows first-aid practice; and the 30 f shows two Scouts locking arms to lift a third. The 60 f and 90 f airmail stamps repeat the first-aid and Scout-game designs with the airmail inscription. Singles are comb-perforated 14 in panes of forty; imperforate singles of the seven designs also exist. A souvenir sheet gathers the two airmail values on an olive ground, the stamps showing simulated perforations.
