History: The coins were manufactured by the Utah National Parks Council to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the BSA. The coins were made in many seperate mintings over the period of 12 months. The back design has delicate arch at Arches National Park, and a Utah Raptor. The front uses the BSA logo. "Get in the Game" was the BSA program to use geocaching to celebrate the 100th anniversary.

About 20 Nickel coins were given out to visiting dignitaries, and people who helped set up the program. The council placed about 40 caches throughout central and southern Utah. People could win the nickel coins in a contest by finding the caches. At a camp that fall, the final 40 coins were put up for sale for those that visited the camp. The nickel was not made for sale to the general public.
