My young scout also has no concept of how to use his money properly. From hsi own mouth, "When I get money, I have to spend it."
Like I said, he is poor, and his parents are uneducated. We know that money handling skills are usually worse among the poor. So his poor money skills are cultural (culture of the poor). Should I say anything to him? Or should I wait for the "how to manage money" lesson that some other guy will teach during Duty to God week? |

Personal management and family life. Those two usually are good to start together, since they both have (or had) requirements that took several months to complete.

You should implement a Schrute Bucks system for your troop. It will not only help them understand financial concepts, but it will ensure their loyalty and good behavior.
