B.S.A.  Scouts of the World

Boxed Set of 111  ( 1968 )

In 1968, the National Supply Division replaced the previous boxed set of 68 Scouts of the World postcards with this set of 111 cards.  They gave the new set the same catalog number, No. 5458, but raised the price to $4.00.  The chrome postcards are in the same vertical format as the earlier cards: each shows a Scout in the uniform of his native country or territory.  The 1968 copyright notice of the Boy Scouts of America is on the front.  The back has the imprint of the National Supply Division on the spine.  Dexter Press printed the cards and their characteristic image number appears in the lower left corner of the back.
