Ideology and irrelevant people aside...they're just terribly designed too.
The left one doesn't even say "UNITED STATES OF AMERCA" on it, outside of as part of Girl Scouts. The second is even worse, as it doesn't have a clear border, and looks like shit. Here's another bad one when I was looking for comparisons: Vera.
Compare to even some of the previous "random women" coins. This one I found at least has a clear border, and isn't cluttered. And then your classic has no unnecessary clutter at all.
You want to put random shit on the coins? It should at least be about America, and it should be well designed.
Our coinage used to be so iconic. I collect old silver dollars. Everyone loves the Morgan Dollar (with good reason) but I'll die on the hill that the Peace Dollar is the prettiest coin we've ever produced.
Makes me sad we're slapping random non-white women who may have once done a thing on quarters.
Didn't the girl scouts dissolve when they allowed them in boy scouts? I could look it up but don't care
No they are seperate entities. The former Boy Scouts also had female members. They just had separate rank systems. Girls couldn't get Eagle scout but got a female equivalent. Girl Scouts were founded and has also been exclusively female. No boys allowed. When the Boy Scouts discontinued the seperate ranking and made taking girls a priority, the Girl Scouts still stayed female only because girls needed their own unique special spaces.
You have to remember they aren't government organizations they are private clubs.
Both of those are location specific. Where I live parents did some other scout brand when my kids were younger because both the girl scouts, and boy scouts were doing more dumb shit than fun shit. Those organizations are all parent volunteers when you get down to the kids.
Edit : Because numbers were low the boys, and the girls were together. But, no one was teaching the kids inappropriate material. It was just outside activities, and learning outside things.
What a gay response
The Vera one looks pretty cool.
Almost, if you're into that...but way too messy. Like I said, I'd appreciate more of a clear border, at the very least.
It matches the space theme.
