The 2010 Boy Scouts of America Centennial Silver Dollar is one of two commemorative silver coins issued by the United States Mint in 2010. This specific strike honors the Boy Scouts of America organization which was officially established in 1910.

Today, it is one of the largest youth groups in the United States with over 4.5 million members. Since its founding, more than 110 million different individuals have belonged to the Scouts. Throughout its history, the Scouts have strived to serve its communities as well as develop positive attributes in its members.

To celebrate the centennial, the US Mint released this Boy Scouts of America Centennial Silver Dollar on March 23, 2010. The coin was struck in both proof and uncirculated condition from 90% silver to a diameter of 1.5 inches. Congress authorized the strikes with the Boy Scouts of America Centennial Commemorative Coin Act (Public Law 110-363).

Struck on the obverse of the Boy Scouts of America Centennial Silver Dollar depicts a Cub Scout in the foreground with a Boy Scout and a female Venturer shown behind him. All three are shown in complete uniform giving a salute. The obverse was designed by United States Mint Artistic Infusion Program Master Designer Donna Weaver and sculpted by United States Mint Sculptor-Engraver Charles L. Vickers. Also shown are the inscriptions of CONTINUING THE JOURNEY, 1910, 2010,IN GOD WE TRUST and LIBERTY.

The reverse of the coin was sculpted by United States Mint Sculptor-Engraver Jim Licaretz and shows the Boy Scouts of America universal emblem. Surrounding the emblem are the inscriptions of UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, BOY SCOUTS OF AMERICA, BE PREPARED, E PLURIBUS UNUM and ONE DOLLAR.

Surcharges collected on the sale of each strike were forwarded to the National Boy Scouts of America Foundation to aid in Scouting for hard-to-reach areas of the nation.

Also released by the United States Mint in the same year as this strike was the America Veterans Disabled for Life Silver Dollar.
