Come meet Finnegan, an adorable service pup-in-training! Learn all about service animals and how to treat our furry friends in different settings, along with hands-on safety and first aid for animals. Participants will attend a series of three workshops at either our South Elgin. Each workshop includes light refreshments! If participants complete all three sessions, they may build their own hero in conjunction with our onsite Build-A-Bear Workshop, including making a stuffed hero with vest and fun patch to take home.

This event is open to all Girl Scout levels. Troops are welcome to attend and must follow appropriate volunteer-to-Girl Scout ratios. Individual Girl Scouts are also welcome and should attend with an adult chaperone, age 18 or older and out of high school. There is no charge for chaperones, but they must register to attend. There is a max of 25 youth participants per session.

If attending all three workshops, Brownies will earn the Pet badge; Cadettes will earn the Animal Helper badge, and Seniors can complete two of five requirements for the Voice for Animals badge. 

Fee includes all three sessions:
* $50 for GSNI Girl Scouts
* $55 for Girl Scouts outside of GSNI
* $60 for non-Girl Scout
