The idea of selling something goes back a long way. People were trading things even before money was invented. When people traded, they would give something for something else they wanted more. In a sale, both parties should feel that they’re better off than they were before the sale. Money is an easier way of keeping track of how much things are worth.

NOTE: For safety reasons, all sales must be under the direct supervision of a parent, guardian, or other trusted adult.
21a – Take part in a council- or pack-sponsored money earning sales program. Keep track of the sales you make yourself. When the program is over, add up the sales that you have made.
21b – Help with a garage sale or rummage sale. This can be with your family or a neighbor, or it can be a church, school, or pack event
