The Scout Association

This is why MoneySense - a programme to provide financial education for children across the country - has been created. This initiative was established in 1994, and MoneySense now has a presence in over 65% of British secondary schools. Since 2005, more than two million young people have benefited from the skills they've learned.

The MoneySense for Schools programme is designed to teach school pupils what money is all about, how banks and other financial providers work and how to manage their personal finances, both now and in the future.

Interactive resources for scouts

Since teaming up with The Scout Association, MoneySense has customised their resources for use within beaver colonies, cub packs, scout troops and explorer scout units*.

The resources are designed to be interactive, stimulating and practical. They’re also designed to make leaders’ lives easy. So whether you’re planning an expedition, a new activity or simply want to learn some new skills, MoneySense for Scouts has the tools you need.

These new activity packs are now available and cover five key themes:

• Money and your life
• Running your own business
  
• Running your own event
• Bringing the fun into fundraising
  
• Staying on budget.
