National Credit Union Youth Week
Students age 18 and younger are invited to enter our Saving Sleuth Challenge where (5) lucky winners will be chosen to win $50 each!
To enter, simply follow our Suncoast panther, Scout, on Facebook or on the web as he visits Suncoast employees. Scout’s activities will be posted each Monday for four weeks starting April 22, 2013.
Each week you will learn how Scout spends his time (and his money)! Keep track of how much he earns and saves. The mystery is to discover how much he will have in his account at the end of his Suncoast adventure!
Email his ending balance to us at SuncoastYouth@Suncoastfcu.org by May 17th. Correct entries will go into a random drawing to win $50!
Visit Suncoast branches during Youth Week from April 22nd to 26th for special contests and giveaways!
Clue #1: Monday, April 22nd
Scout is working with Edgar Dejesus, a Member Financial Associate at our Plant City service center. He will be busy helping members by answering questions, taking loan requests and giving our members star quality service! Scout will work 35 hours this week at $10.00 per hour. Each day (Monday – Friday), Scout will buy lunch at the local deli for $7.00.
Be sure to keep track of Scout's earnings, spending and savings over the next 4 weeks and submit your answer on May 17th for your chance to win one of (5) $50 Visa gift cards! Keep in mind that since Scout is a panther, he doesn't have to have taxes taken out of his paycheck. (For example, if he works 2 hours at $10.00 per hour, you would calculate that he gets $20.00)

Scout is ending his Suncoast adventure by working with Application Support Specialist, Alyssa Cain. The team is responsible for making sure all of our phones and computer systems are working properly so you can imagine what a big job that is with 53 service centers and more than 1000 employees!
Scout works 40 hours this week, earning $13.50 per hour. To take a break from the long work week, the team goes bowling. Scout spends $25.00 for bowling and another $10.00 for food. Scout’s co-workers gave him gas money for driving them all. Three of them gave him $5.00 each and two of them gave him $3.00 each.
