Junior Financial Counselor Program Builds Money Skills for Girl Scouts

Our Brighton team welcomed 30 Girl Scouts for an interactive financial literacy experience through the Junior Financial Counselor patch program. The Girl Scouts explored budgeting basics, learned the true cost of everyday products, and practiced planning, saving, and making smart spending decisions. They also put their skills to the test during the Bite of Reality simulation, navigating real‑world scenarios and managing monthly expenses. It was inspiring to see their curiosity, teamwork, and confidence grow!
