FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
Scouting Leadership Coins Honor Scouting's Most Essential Participants
New Officially Licensed Coins from Northwest Territorial Mint Are Perfect Gifts for Any Adult Scouter
(Auburn, Washington - February 19, 2008) Every Scout, from his first day as a Tiger Cub to his final
day in Venturing, benefits from the attention and support of a wealth of adult volunteers. These
individuals, who serve in many ways and at various levels, help the boys to grow physically and morally
fit through challenges and adherence to the values of the Scout Oath and the Scout Law.
Northwest Territorial Mint, officially licensed by the Boy Scouts of America to create precision-minted
coins and knives for Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts, Sea Scouts, and Venturing participants, announces the
release of 12 new coins intended solely for the adults who generously donate their time and their efforts
to Scouting.
Scouts and their parents will want to present them in appreciation. Scouters will want to carry one as a
reminder of the lives they have influenced.
The reverse of each coin is ready for engraving, ideal for creating a lasting award for the recipient. The
obverse of each coin features the Boy Scouts of America logo most appropriate for the volunteer's
position. Each is 1-3/4 inches round, minted in a proprietary brass alloy with an antique finish, and is
selectively imbued with colorful, durable high-gloss enamel. All are for sale for $11 at
ScoutingCoins.com and retail locations around the United States that carry Boy Scouts of America
merchandise.
The complete set of Leadership Coins is as follows:
Cub Scouts Pack Committee Chairman Coin, Webelos Den Leader Coin, Cub Scouts Den Leader Coin,
Cub Scouts Assistant Cubmaster Coin, Cub Scouts Cubmaster Coin, Boy Scouts Troop Committee
Chair Coin, Boy Scouts Assistant Scoutmaster Coin, Boy Scouts Scoutmaster Coin, Venturing Associate
