Girl Scouts of Northern Illinois Classes

Tinker Swiss Cottage does not provide badges or submit documentation for badges. The classes your scout attends will help them complete the majority of requirements to secure their badges, which will need to be given to the troop leader working with your scout on their badge.
**Please note: There are no physical tickets. Once you purchase your seat, you will be placed onto a reservation form and will need to check in at the Barn upon arrival. ​

Upcoming Open Girl Scouts Class:
"Gardener"
Junior Badge Workshop
April 25th    9-11am

Junior Badge Purpose: Find out how to make your own garden, no matter where you live. 

During this two-hour workshop, Girl Scouts will explore how gardens are planned and designed, discover how climate affects what we grow, and learn how gardens can serve purpose within and outside our homes.


This program will ensure the Girl Scouts will complete all of the requirements to earn this badge. However, the museum will NOT provide badges. 

​Please contact the Girl Scouts of Northern Illinois to receive your badge for completing this workshop. Documentation of proof of completion will be provided to you at the end of the workshop.
