BANK TOUR

Today the girls had an opportunity to earn an extra Badge.

They got to tour the local West America Bank.

The girls paid close attention and were interested in what they were saying.

 

 The Bank Manager was very nice to our girls. Sandy even emailed her ahead of time to see if she could talk about some of the things that needed to be addressed for Badge Work. She answered all questions as well.

 

They each had to bring a healthy snack so afterwards we walked to the park to eat and talk about what we learned. The girls had questions about money they needed to discuss as well.

It was just an extra opportunity to learn, get together and earn a Badge.

I had alot of fun. Thanks Troop Leader Sandy for putting this together!
