The Scouts talking to Greg.

Girl Scout Troop 10586 visited the Shorewood branch on November 9. Area branch manager Shannon Weber and her team gave the Scouts name tags and made them junior employees for the afternoon, before giving them a tour of the office.

Teller Razalyn Brock taught the Scouts how to run coins and deposit funds, and personal banker Kenya Owens gave them some information about opening accounts and saving money. Then Shannon explained a bit about the bank’s hiring processes and gave them job interviews.

“I asked them questions like: ‘What do you want to be when you grow up? What age do you look forward to and why? Tell me a bit about your birthday party from this past year,'” Shannon said.

Razalyn giving the Scouts a look at the teller line.

After that, the girls met with mortgage loan officer Greg Kroll and learned about home buying. “They had many questions for Greg,” Shannon reported.

The visit closed with a meeting in the upstairs conference room, where Shannon and the Scouts talked about what they’d learned and which roles at the bank they’d liked best. After an ice cream party, the Scouts all left with some North Shore Bank memorabilia.
