History
Libya issued three commemorative stamps on 1 February 1974 for the twentieth anniversary of the founding of the Scout movement in the country. The designs were prepared from material supplied by the Scout Association of Libya and printed by offset lithography, comb perforation 11¼ × 11¾, in panes of 50. Sources give no printer.
Each stamp shows a pioneering tower with a Scout at the top, a map of Libya, a three-finger salute and a rising sun, inscribed الجمهورية العربية الليبية and الذكرى العشرون لتأسيس الحركة الكشفية ١٩٧٤. The 5 dirhams has a light-blue frame, the 20 dirhams a lilac frame, and the 25 dirhams a teal frame.
