History

The St. George's Guilds in Denmark issued a no-value Good-Turn label for 1979–80. The design shows a figure in Inuit dress before a white outline of Greenland, a red Scout fleur-de-lis at upper left, and the inscriptions GOOD-TURN, 79/80 and Sct. Georgs Gilderne i Danmark. Offset lithography, perforated 11, 28 × 38 mm. The same design was printed as a pane of fifty by Silkeborg Bogtrykkeri og Offset for the 3. Silkeborg Gilde; the pane margins name the sister guilds in Norway, Sweden, Iceland and Finland and the International Fellowship of Former Scouts and Guides.
