🌟 What a fantastic evening we had with the cubs from 1st New Waltham - Grimsby - Squirrel, Beaver, Cub and Scout Group working towards their Money Skills Badge! 🌟
We had such a warm welcome from the group, and it was brilliant to see how engaged, enthusiastic, and keen to learn the Cubs were throughout the session. They got stuck into every activity, asked some fantastic questions, and had some really thoughtful discussions about money and how to make smart financial choices.
During the evening, the Cubs took part in activities including:
💷 Recognising different notes from the UK and around the world
🏕️ Creating and managing a budget for a Cub camp
🎯 Exploring the different influences that affect our spending decisions
🏦 Learning about saving through saving jars and discussing savings goals
⚠️ Building awareness of scams and how to spot warning signs
💬 Discussing the importance of saving and planning ahead for things we want or need
It was fantastic to see the Cubs thinking carefully about how money works in the real world and growing in confidence as they worked through the challenges. These are such important life skills, and they should all be incredibly proud of what they achieved.
A huge thank you to the leaders at 1st New Waltham Cubs for inviting Money Smart Kids along. We thoroughly enjoyed the evening and loved seeing the Cubs' enthusiasm and willingness to learn.
If you're involved with a Cub Pack, Scout Group, Brownies, Guides, school, or any other youth organisation and think a Money Smart Kids session would be beneficial for your young people, we'd love to hear from you. Our sessions are designed to be fun, interactive, and help young people develop valuable money skills for life.
