This Jr. Financial Workshop is an exciting and interactive designed
to help young learners build a strong foundation in personal finance!
Hosted in partnership with Colorado Credit Union, this hands-on
session will introduce essential money concepts in a fun and
approachable way.
Through engaging and fun activities
Girl Scouts will Learn:
- Budgeting basics: Understand how to track income and expenses, and why budgeting is key to achieving financial goals.
- The 50/30/20 Rule: Discover a simple and effective way to divide money between needs, wants, and savings.
- Smart spending: Learn how to evaluate quality vs. cost and avoid being misled by price tags.
- Purposeful saving: Set meaningful savings goals and explore strategies to stay on track.
Why it matters: This workshop helps young
participants build smart money habits in a supportive and engaging

to make confident choices in the future. And the best part? Girl
Scouts will proudly earn their Colorado Credit Union Jr. Financial
Counselor patch-plus Brownies will earn their My Own Budget badge and
Juniors will earn their My Money Plan badge. It's a double win they'll
be excited to show off to friends and family!
