History
Ghana issued five commemoratives and a souvenir sheet on 22 July 1971 for the golden jubilee of the Girl Guides of Ghana. George Hamori designed the 4 np Guide emblem on the national flag; Mr. Tege the 40 np campfire and tent; Alexander S. Larkins the 12½ np portrait of Mrs Elsie Ofuatey-Kodjoe, National Founder, the 20 np Guides at a trail game, and the 50 np semaphore. Questa printed the issue in lithography, comb perforated 14. The souvenir sheet gathers all five values inside a rope frame dated 1921 and 1971, with a Guide flag and the flag of Ghana, and was issued with simulated perforations. Imperforate printings of the five stamps also exist.
