The 2010 Boy Scouts Centennial Silver Dollar was issued to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Boy Scouts of America.
The design of this coin was criticized by some collectors for its inclusion of a female. This design was specifically advocated by the organization in order to reflect the diversity of the nation and how the Boy Scouts had evolved over time to include all of the youth of America. Alternative designs had highlighted the continuity of the organization with images of a 1910 scout and a modern day scout. Ultimately, a design was chosen in accordance with the preference of the organization.
Sales started on March 23, 2010 and in the opening week of sales, the US Mint sold a combined 214,673 coins, with the coins eventually selling out of its entire authorized mintage.
