Series history
Libya issued three commemorative stamps on 12 August 1966 for the First Arab Girl Scouts Camp and the Seventh Arab Boy Scouts Camp, held at Tripoli.
The 5 millième is a horizontal green design with a dark silhouette of a leaping horned animal and a winged Girl Scout trefoil emblem; the English caption reads 12TH AUGUST 1966 THE FIRST ARAB GIRL SCOUTS CAMP. The 25 millième and 65 millième are vertical stamps sharing a Scout fleur-de-lis with a palm tree in the centre petal, above stylized wings and a globe, enclosed in a rope border tied with a reef knot and inscribed THE SEVENTH ARAB BOY SCOUTS CAMP / 12TH AUGUST 1966. The 25 millième has a pink ruled ground; the 65 millième an orange one.
Joh. Enschedé printed the set by offset lithography. The 5 millième is comb perforated 13 × 11; the 25 millième and 65 millième are comb perforated 11 × 13.
