$5          Troop Bucks- Just The Facts!                                                                                                                         

Troop 2452 has approved and formalized its Troop Buck program.

Girls are able to spend the money “they” earn on things of “their” choice from the treasure box. This is about making choices for them selves and learning the value of money. Also how to spend and how to save.

They ARE  responsible for keeping track of these. The troop leaders will not. If she looses them, I’m sorry.

·         Not bringing materials asked for at last meeting
