Not just collecting but investigating the stories behind them. There is more to the scout stamp than the ammount of perforations or type of glue!! My interpretation of the 1960 American Scout is that he is making his annual Promise - as we do in the England on St George's Day (our Patron Saint) when we re-afirm our intention to follow and stick to the laws laid down by Baden-Powell our Founder. Whoever is listening, reading, browsing this page - good luck - good Scouting - trek carefully.

If so, he would know that a Scout does not salute with his left hand. Also, the Scout depicted in the 1960 Norman Rockwell stamp is not saluting but rendering the Scout sign.
