The girls enjoyed a field trip to the Santa Clara Wells Fargo Bank branch at Rivermark Plaza on Saturday, Nov 14th. They toured the branch and got to see the ATM room and the safe deposit room, areas that are typically not accessible to general customers. They learned how a bank works, how to budget, what charitable giving is and why it is important, and they learned about the different types of money. They also got a very brief and general overview of financial planning. It was a lot of information packed into a very small window of time but everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves and they got to take home some budgeting worksheets to go over with their parents so they can start putting their newly learned skills to work!
The Brownies began earning their Philanthropy badge. The Daisies earned two leaves “Making Choices” and “Money Counts”. Please refer to the last blog entry with the uniform link to learn where these leaves should be placed on the vest.
It was a wonderful meeting and we look forward to seeing the girls on December 11th at Bowman for our next meeting.
