Financial Literacy Badges

Say goodbye to the Daisy leaves!  This summer they were phased out and new, cloud shaped badges took their place.  I loved how the leaves created a scene with the daisy petals so this is a big bummer.  On the other hand, it will be easier to place these badges with the other cloud badges and not worry about spacing as much.  The requirements are pretty much the same as before so basically just a shape change.  

My troop works on a financial literacy badge every year.  We normally aim for December so we can either start planning how to use proceeds from our cookie sale or discuss spending and budgets around the holidays.  This year we have a Junior, several Cadettes, and a Senior.  This is an easy badge to adapt for a multi-level troop.


Similar steps include discussing wants vs needs, creating a budget, and learning something new about money each year
