Celebrate Scouting a Huge Success at Rock the Mall
Thank you to everyone who helped us Rock the Mall with over 200,000 Girl Scouts on Saturday as we dedicated the new Celebrate Scouting (Forever®) stamp on the National Mall in Washington, D.C.
It was a sunny (and hot!) day in the nation’s capital, and we had a great time helping the Girl Scouts of the USA celebrate their 100th anniversary. Vice President and Managing Director of Global Business for the U.S. Postal Service Giselle Valera (who’s also a Girl Scout!) dedicated the stamp, leading the mass of over 200,000 people in a sing-along of “Let Us Show You the Scouting Stamp.”
The “sister” stamp to the 2010 Scouting stamp, Celebrate Scouting pays tribute to scouting organizations for the opportunities and pleasures they have provided millions of youths worldwide. Since the birth of the scouting movement more than a century ago, millions of youths have learned to find their way in the world with the skills and confidence they acquired through scouting. Some of the first scouting experiences provided opportunities to hike, camp, study first aid, and learn to tell time by the stars.
We had a wonderful time at Girl Scouts Rock the Mall, and were absolutely amazed at the turnout. We hope you’ll join us next time!
Our next event is the Miles Davis and Edith Piaf (Forever®) First Day of Issue ceremony tomorrow, June 12, at the Rubin Museum of Art in New York City.
Our philatelic summer is turning out to be everything we’d hoped for and more! Were you at Rock the Mall on Saturday? What was your favorite part of the event?

Today’s the day! We are pleased to announce that the new Celebrate Scouting (Forever®) stamp is now available nationwide! The stamp will be issued at 12 p.m. as part of the Girl Scouts Rock the Mall event in Washington, D.C.
