Commemorative Coin to Celebrate the Girl Scouts' 100th Anniversary
There are some exciting possibilities on the horizon for Girl Scouts!
In celebration of 100 years of Girl Scouting, Girl Scouts is working to get legislation passed in the 111th Congress that will authorize the U.S. Mint to issue a Girl Scout Commemorative Coin.
The Girl Scouts of the USA Centennial Commemorative Coin Act recognizes the achievements of Girl Scouts of the USA and the 50 million women across the nation whose lives have been influenced through Girl Scouting. This legislation will direct the U.S. Mint to produce 350,000 silver coins. Ten dollars ($10) from the sale of each coin will go to GSUSA to help support the development and delivery of Girl Scout programs and fund much-needed renovations at the Juliette Gordon Low Birthplace.
Visit the Girl Scouts Advocacy Network webpage,
and have a message sent to your Members of Congress in support of the Commemorative Coin Act. Together, we can help create a coin that will serve as a lasting symbol of our 100th Anniversary.
Our thanks to Congressman Adam Smith,
who has already signed on as a co-sponsor!
