Girl Scouts Learn Financial Literacy


By Leigh Wilk    January 6, 2012


Most often when you ask any Girl Scout what they want  to do with their money, They answer they will give is “save it.”    Girl Scouts are taught from day one to save for college, careers and homes. The Girl Scouts of American have 13 financial literacy badges, to prepare  these young women for their financial future that means a minimum of $22,900 of college debt. Undaunted by the figure, the savvy Cookie CEO’s know the power of saving.


 Daisy scouts learn to save and Junior scouts learn how to handle money. Cadets learn to factor the cost of their financial security, mortgages, taxes and property taxes. Badges and awards are given for  R&D, Financing my Future, Savvy Shopper, and Giving Back.

 

At each level, Girl Scouts discover what their dream job and dream home will cost to finance. Cadets meet with financial planners and real estate agents to explain the details of what that dream will cost over a lifetime.

There is no doubt that the women of the Girls Scouts today will know how to make financially sound decisions.
