# Scouting for Peace and Progress poster (English poster distributed in Manila)

A red, black and grey collage of a scout in a wide-brimmed hat with a raised arm and chest made of photographs of scouts at camp, dancing, singing and parading, beside a badge for the 10th World Jamboree, Philippines 1959. The headline says scouting is for peace and progress and the caption says it produces men of sound character destined to chart tomorrow's world. The tell is glittering-generalities: peace, progress and character are asserted with no further claim.
