Item Description
2010 Boy Scouts of America Centennial Proof Silver Coin in box. 26.73 g. Silver.
The weaving of thoughts, cultures, and ideas into one American fabric is stamped into our national identity - E Pluribus Unum, "Out of Many, One."
In 2010, the United States Mint inscribed that phrase onto a new commemorative coin that honors the centennial of the Boy Scouts of America. On March 23, the Mint made available for sale 350,000 high quality, modern issue, commemorative silver dollar coins. Thanks to the enthusiasm and generous support of dedicated Scouters, the coins sold out in June.
Like the inscription on the coin, the BSA gathers together youth from all backgrounds. So, it was only fitting that the surcharges from the sale of each coin were authorized for use to benefit the BSA National Foundation in its efforts to bring Scouting to underserved communities. Surcharges may generate up to $3.5 million for this very worthy cause.
Judge William S. Sessions, former Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation and Distinguished Eagle Scout, is the Honorary Chairman of the BSA's initiative to promote the Boy Scouts of America Centennial Silver Dollar. His son, Congressman Pete Sessions of Dallas, Texas, also a Distinguished Eagle Scout, introduced and championed the legislation that authorized the BSA to be one of the two commemorative coins produced by the United States Mint in 2010.
