The Personal Finance section of CNN Money has an interesting quiz titled Are You Smarter Than A Boy Scout?  The quiz takes questions from the Personal Management Merit Badge that is required for all scouts to earn their Eagle Scout rank.

You don’t have to be a scout, or even a boy, to take this 10-question quiz and learn something.  And it reinforces sound financial advice about budgets, saving, and credit.  Here’s a hint to help you along: the number one factor in credit scores is your Payment History. 

Yes, it’s never too soon to start teaching our young people about money and credit.  Better they learn now than be surprised in their 20s and 30s when they can’t buy a home, finance a car for less than 19% interest, or get that security clearance for their job promotion and raise.
