1. What is Happening in Girl Scouts
We have completed the Money Manager Badge - we learned about budgeting. The girls broke up into groups and were given a spending limit. By researching grocery prices, the girls had to make virtual grocery purchases.
We also opened a “Shopping Mall” where the girls labeled items for sale and practiced purchasing these items and giving correct change. Finally, we discussed activities that cost money and those that do not. We brainstormed ways to have fun when you are on a budget.
Ways to encourage money management at home:
-visit a bank and open a savings account
-grocery shop together
-have your child make a shopping list given a budget
