Icon Corner: Talk About Wants and Needs
Help children learn the difference between needs and wants. "Needs" are things they can't manage without (lunch, a basic wardrobe, school supplies). "Wants" are things they'd like to have, but don't need (ice cream with friends, designer jeans, an expensive backpack).
Once they can differentiate between their needs and wants, kids can prioritize needs over wants, and some wants over others. This will help your child make prudent spending decisions now and as she grows older.

Thank You Champions!
Thank you to everyone who has committed to being a Girl Scout Champion this year! During the next few months, there will be great opportunities to represent Girl Scouts in your school. Make sure to check dates for Fall Festivals, Carnivals, Christmas parties, School Assemblies and more. Be sure to talk to your school administrator about having a Girl Scout table at these events. Have existing Girl Scouts at your school staff these events and they can earn "Community Service or "Service to Girl Scouting" hours. Let us know event specifics (day/time/school) and if you are in need of fliers, stickers, pencils, etc. We will be happy to provide anything you need.
Every school in our Council should have at least 1 Girl Scout Champion, so if you are outgoing and excited about Girl Scouts and have great connections with your child's school, you too can become a Girl Scout Champion. Email us at
customercare@girlscouts-ssc.org
and let us know. We will get in touch with you and tell you all about it!
