Build-A-Bear Workshop at GSNI

Girl Scouts of all levels can now build a bear or furry friend as unique as they are, right in the Build-A-Bear Workshop at Girl Scouts of Northern Illinois in South Elgin. They will have the opportunity to pick their bear or furry friend and stuff it with the help of our staff, including Build-A-Bear’s iconic Heart Ceremony—themed just for Girl Scouts.

Then, they can choose from vests and tunics with matching troop numbers, outfits, cookie merchandise, accessories, sounds, scents, and more!

Girl Scouts can enjoy this as an activity on their own, with their troop, or even have it be part of a special celebration, like a birthday party or bridging ceremony!

Not a Girl Scout – Not a Problem! All are welcome to come in and build a new furry friend!

Kits & Bundles toggle arrow

My Girl Scout Kit

The My Girl Scout Kit allows you to build a kit tailored to your girl's individual needs for her Girl Scout year. Girls build their kit from selecting items from uniform pieces, Journey books and insignia. When you spend $60 on My Girl Scout Kit components she'll get a free bag to keep everything in!

My Girl Scout Kits are available through the GSUSA Online Store or GSNI Retail Stores.

Bridging Kits

The Bridging Kit helps leaders and facilitators recognize the achievements that go along with moving to the next Girl Scout grade level.

Each kit includes: Bridging Certificate, Bridging Award specific to grade level, Membership Disc, Girl Scout Membership Star Pin, colorful Bridging Pencil and exclusive Bridging Patch.

Bridging Kits are available through the GSUSA Online or one of our GSNI Retail Stores.

Uniforms

You’re proud of what you’ve achieved. Your Girl Scout uniform shows how much you’ve accomplished—and that you’re ready for what’s next. And each part of your Girl Scout uniform is as unique as you are.

Girl Scouts from each grade level have one official uniform item (a sash, vest, or tunic) to display badges, pins, awards, and other insignia. This item is required when you participate in ceremonies or officially represent Girl Scouts. You can wear your sash, vest, or tunic over official Girl Scout gear or over a white shirt and khaki pants or skirt. Depending on grade level, official uniform items may be blue, brown, green, or khaki.
