Description

The United States Mint issued the 2013 Girl Scouts Centennial Silver Dollar to mark the 100th anniversary of the Girl Scouts of the United States of America. This issue followed the previous release of a silver dollar to mark the centennial anniversary of the Boy Scouts of America in 2010.

Girl Scouts of the United States of America (GSUSA), commonly referred to as simply Girl Scouts, is a youth organization for girls in the United States and American girls living abroad. Founded by Juliette Gordon Low in 1912, it was organized after Low met Robert Baden-Powell, the founder of Scouting, in 1911.
