This stamp commemorates the 12th World Scout Jamboree, held in 1967 at Farragut State Park, Idaho, United States. Organized by the World Organization of the Scout Movement, the event brought together tens of thousands of Scouts from countries around the world for a gathering focused on friendship, cultural exchange, outdoor activities, and international understanding. World Scout Jamborees are among the largest youth events in the world and are held periodically in different host nations.

By issuing this stamp, Mauritania recognized the ideals promoted by the international Scouting movement, including cooperation, leadership, community service, and mutual respect among young people of diverse backgrounds. The stamp celebrates the spirit of global fellowship that characterized the 1967 Jamboree and highlights the importance of encouraging international connections and peaceful cooperation through youth engagement and shared experiences.
