BOISE, ID – The Girl Scouts of Silver Sage Council are teaming up with Idaho Central Credit Union to provide Girl Scouts at Lowell Elementary with a six week money management program. Beginning January 21, 2009, fourth and fifth grade girls participating in the Girl Scout Visions program will learn about financial accountability once a week during their lunch hour.
The Visions program focuses on providing girls with the tools to make healthy life decisions, touching on topics such as: self-esteem, bullying, friendships, and body image. ICCU will provide “girl-friendly” training on customer service, entrepreneurship, money management, sales, and marketing that girls can put in action during the Girl Scout Cookie Program, which is ongoing through March.
“It is an honor to be involved in this program. The Girl Scouts are taking a pro-active approach to educate girls in our community and provide information on important topics, including financial education. Together we can help these youth develop strong, positive habits for their future,” stated Michael Watson with Idaho Central Credit Union.
