Girl Scout Juniors – Budget Maker Badge Workshop – Littleton A budget involves keeping track of how to spend and save money to reach a goal. So, why do Girl Scout Juniors need to keep a budget?

Or after their troop has an idea of where to spend money earned from Girl Scout fundraising, they then make a fundraising goal they aim to meet. Creating a budget helps them plan to meet those goals. As part of that plan, Girl Scout Juniors learn smart ways to spend, save, and share money. At this Charles Schwab workshop, Gi ..read more

The first thing I learned is that imposter syndrome is very real, even among the most impr ..read more

Four Brownies in Troop 65659 worked on the Hiker, First Aid, and Cabin Camper badges over the summer and three of them completed all three badges and went on to do a Take Action project for the Outdoor Journey.
