Daisy Money Counts Badge

Since the steps for earning the Money Counts leaf are well defined in The Daisy Girl's Guide to Girl Scouting, I didn't feel the need to do anything more than guide Tessa in completing the booklet for this badge. This post is simply to verify that Tessa did indeed do the required work. The basic steps for the Daisy Money Counts badge are listed below. I have included a picture of Tessa (or her completed work) for each step.

Money Counts

You can use money to buy things. You can use it to help other people, too. Let's find out more about money!

Steps

1. Understand different kinds of coins

Tessa identified various coins and their worth. She compared and contrasted the coins as well.

2. Know more about paper money

Tessa identified various paper bills and their worth. She also counted out the proper number of coins to equal a dollar. 

3. Find out the cost of fun

After working out budgets to visit the St. Louis Science Center, and Zoo, Tessa came up with fun things to do for free. She drew pictures of visiting the St. Louis Art Museum, playing with friends, and picking wildflowers.

Purpose

When I've earned this leaf, I'll know more about money and what it's worth.
