For the 2nd part of the Money Manager Badge, we traveled to our local Wal-mart! The girls were asked to find 5 food items they needed to be healthy and strong, and stay within $30. They learned how to weigh their fruits and veggies and how to make good healthy choices!
Then the girls learned the difference between their wants and needs when they only had $15 pretend dollars to spend on school supplies. (We all know that school supplies - even the basics - cost WAY more than $15!!)
The last task for the meeting was for the girls to make a list of clothing items that everyone needs. Were they able to get the perfect outfit for less than $30, or did they have to decide what items were necessary and what items they could live without!
Thank you Wal-Mart for allowing us to use your store for our Girl Scout field trip!
